Panathinaikos AKTOR had an easy task against Monaco, prevailing 107-97 for the 34th round of the EuroLeague and reaching four consecutive wins.
Ergin Ataman’s team took advantage of the significant absences of Monegasque, who lined up without Mike James and Daniel Tice, as well as their limited rotation.
The Green and Gold dominated most of the game and, in addition to winning, managed to close the eight-point gap from their first-round loss, securing an advantage in a potential tiebreaker. The final score could have been even closer had there been no let-up in the final minutes.
