Panathinaikos players (Itzik Blanitsky)
The seventh round in the Euroleague continues tonight (Friday) in a more limited format with only two games. First to celebrate was Panathinaikos, who really didn’t impress until this stage of the season, but finally exploded at home with a great attacking night at the expense of Baskonia.
It ended 83:98 for the Greeks, who achieved their second win of the season in Europe against five losses, for the Basques it was their third loss against four wins. Marcus Howard stood out for the loser with 20 points, while Derrick Williams, former Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Devin Bacon excelled for the host with 16 points and 4 rebounds each.
Maccabi’s ex also starred in the second game – Chris Jones led Valencia to an 84:89 home victory over Monaco. The guard scored 27 points and his team went up to a positive balance of 3:4, for the French, who were stopped after three consecutive Euroleague victories, it was their second loss against five victories.
