Embarrassed and prone to cheap mistakes as usual, Panathinaikos did not make a major turnaround from -18, and with their 89–91 loss (4th in a row) to Partizan in OAKA, their record reached 1–5. 16-31 in the 10th minute pushed the “greens” to the canvas, but they managed to reach -2 thanks to the excellent Walters and P.Kalaitsakis, who kept Pantera (20 points in the first) for 13 minutes in the second half without points for 13 minutes parts).

The American found his rhythm again, and with some serious refereeing errors, the difference jumped to -10, and in the last three minutes it was reduced to -2 due to a counterattack. Bacon is positive about his debut, the judging is below the circumstances. Obradovic and Papapetru returned to OAKA as rivals and were deified!
