The basketball team got hammered in Istanbul
Anadolu Efes 83–68 Panathinaikos in EuroLeague round 9 on 30 October. The report from RIK called it a tragic performance (2).
You got within a point in the last quarter, then conceded a 14–0 run (2). Petridis did not soften it: one of the worst displays in years, and it was a deserved defeat (3).
Isaac Bonga said the team did not play the way it usually does and that they have to make sure it does not happen again (4). Mike Batiste pointed at the errors and the bad defence (5).
The result leaves Olympiacos and Panathinaikos level on record at the top of the EuroLeague table (1) (6).
Next up in Europe: CSKA Sofia
