Juancho Hernangomez recorded career highs in both points scored (18) and PIR (27) to lead Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens past Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall

Game-changer Juancho Hernangomez fueled Panathinaikos’s impressive comeback

Everything seemed to be going wrong for [Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/) at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall on Wednesday night. [Cedi Osman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/cedi-osman/004088/) and [Ioannis Papapetrou ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/ioannis-papapetrou/005161/)were both sidelined against [Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv/tel/) - one of the most in-form teams in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with four wins in a row.

[Kendrick Nunn](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/kendrick-nunn/012774/) started well and netted 17 points in the first half, but he didn’t have much help on offense in the first three quarters. Meanwhile, the Greens conceded 78 points after 30 minutes, with their defense lacking aggressivity. In the post-game press conference, head coach Ergin Ataman labeled his players’ display in the first 35 minutes as their “worst of the season”.

Enter [Juancho Hernangomez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/juancho-hernangomez/012712/), whose game-changing display inspired a huge turnaround in the closing quarter. Maccabi started the fourth with back-to-back baskets from [Jimmy Clark](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/jimmy-clark-iii/013699/) and [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/), who opened an 82-67 advantage with 8:44 remaining.

That’s when Juancho flipped the switch for the reigning champion with a triple which opened an extraordinary 0-18 run that saw Panathinaikos take the lead, 82-85, with 5 minutes left on the clock. A shocked Maccabi bounced back, with [Levi Randolph](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/levi-randolph/013382/) hitting a couple of free throws to bring the hosts within 92-94.

But Hernangomez hadn’t said the last word. The Panathinaikos forward nailed his fourth triple of the night to make it 92-97, practically putting the game to bed.

“We never give up,” he told EuroLeague TV after the game. “That’s the champion’s heart. The great teams do that – they keep fighting until the end. Great fourth quarter, great effort by everybody.”

Game Videos

Juancho recorded career highs in both points scored (18) and PIR (27). Sixteen of his points were netted in the second half, while 11 were scored in the fourth quarter, where he also recorded 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

Nunn may have chipped in with game-highs of 26 points and 8 assists to go with his 5 rebounds for a PIR of 34, but Hernangomez was the player who brought in the energy that inspired Panathinaikos’s fourth-quarter comeback.

Despite having clinched a top-10 spot, Panathinaikos can’t rest on its laurels, as [Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/?season=2024-25) will visit the Greens to end the double-round week. And Juancho made sure to provide his team with a boost in confidence ahead of Friday night’s clash against a side that beat them [84-80 back in Round 3](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/tae2425-rs3-report-prs-pan/).

Petrusev acknowledged that focus was immediately being shifted on to the Real Madrid game, bound to draw another capacity crowd inside the Belgrade Arena.

“You don’t get too many easy games in the EuroLeague and tonight was easy because we made a good start,” Petrusev toild EuroLeague TV. “We had great energy throughout the game and we want to keep it up in two days \[against Real Madrid\].

“We knew we had to win this game, we put it away early and now the real challenge is on Friday. It will be huge and if we take care of business, there will be big celebration.”

Davidovac added: “We had an amazing game at both ends of the court and against Madrid we have to play the same way.”

Head coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos was purring with delight after one of Zvezda’s best performances of the season.  “I want to congratulate the players for a great game and they showed how much we wanted this win. We fought for every possession at both ends of the court and on offense we had great movement of the ball,” the Greek tactician said at the postgame press conference.

“I thank the fans for turning up in numbers again and I want to ask them to be even louder in the next game \[against Real\], together we can win it. The win against Olympiacos was decisive for boosting our confidence and it came as a result of some hard work after a pair of losses following the international break.”

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens rallied from 15 points down to defeat Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 92-99 at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Round 31 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague

Panathinaikos produces epic comeback to beat Maccabi, 92-99

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens rallied from 15 points down to defeat Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 92-99 at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall on Wednesday night. The Israeli champs led 82-67 with 8 minutes left on the clock, but the Greens went on a 0-18 surge to turn the game around. Panathinaikos improved its record to 20-11 and clinched a top-10 spot, securing its place in the postseason. Maccabi saw its four-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 10-21.

Kendrick Nunn led all scorers with 26 points and Juancho Hernangomez netted 18 – of which 16 were scored in the second half. Lorenzo Brown had 14 points, Wenyen Gabriel recorded 13 and Konstantinos Mitoglou added 12. Levi Randolph paced Maccabi with 21 points, Jake Cohen registered 15 and Roman Sorkin 12 and Trevion Williams and Tamir Blatt scored 11 each.

Gabriel and Brown opened the game with back-to-back buckets against their former team for a 4-6 lead. Mitoglou took over with 5 straight points before a transition layup from Panagiotis Kalaitzakis gave Panathinaikos an 8-15 cushion. Blatt responded with a triple, but Panathinaikos answered with a 0-7 run fueled by Nunn. Triples from Jimmy Clark and Williams cut the difference to 19-24 after 10 minutes.

Maccabi hit the ground running in the second quarter, with DiBartolomeo drilling 2 straight triples to tie it up at 25-25. Cohen drilled one from deep for Maccabi’s first lead of the game, 30-27. Blatt nailed another one, but Nunn responded from downtown and Brown completed a three-point play that brought the visitors within 36-35. Cohen took his tally to 7 points off the bench before a jumper by Randolph made it 42-37. Nunn netted 5 straight points, but Randolph made 3 of 3 from the line for a 47-42 lead at halftime.

Rampant Crvena Zvezda steamrolls Virtus, 88-52

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade took a step closer to the business end of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague as it improved to 18-13 with an impressive 88-52 home win over Virtus Segafredo Bologna, which dropped to 7-24 after a ninth successive defeat.

Dejan Davidovac paced Zvezda’s relentless pack with 17 points, Filip Petrusev added 16 and Codi Miller-McIntyre chipped in with 11 as dominant Zvezda racked up 42 boards, 28 assists and 7 steals in a high-octane display.

At the other end, Tornike Shengelia netted 13 points and Will Clyburn scored 12 for a hapless Virtus, with the Italian team going down tamely in a performance devoid of any energy.

The icing on the cake was that the result was Zvezda’s biggest EuroLeague win while it also marked the lowest scoring tally for Virtus, which shot a miserable 2 of 22 from downtown.

Roared on by 20,000 raucous fans at Belgrade Arena, Zvezda got off to a flying start and never looked back after racing into an 11-1 lead in the opening exchanges. The home team thrived inside on selfless teamwork, sharing the ball superbly and scoring a barrage of fastbreak points.

Having shot 10 of 13 from inside as it dished out 8 assists against a solitary turnover in the opening 10 minutes, Zvezda engineered a 28-11 lead at the end of the first quarter and then carried on at full throttle in the second. 

The advantage soared to 45-17 as Zvezda poured in the shots from all angles, with Petrusev and Davidovac leading the charge to give the hosts a thoroughly deserved 51-27 lead at halftime. Zvezda racked up a total of 19 rebounds in the first half, 6 of them on offense, having also produced 17 assists.

Petrusev gave the relentless home fans a taste of what was coming when he sank a corner three in the third quarter’s opening play, with ironclad defense allowing Zvezda to romp away into a 69-37 lead ahead of the final 10 minutes of a lop-sided contest.

With one eye on Friday’s Rivalry Series home matchup against Real Madrid, Zvezda coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos managed the minutes in the fourth quarter but Zvezda kept its foot on the gas. The home team’s advantage rocketed to a whopping 86-48 with under 2 minutes left on the clock, sparking loud celebrations among the jubilant home crowd.

The Serbian champs edged closer to a postseason berth with an emphatic victory  

Shane Larkin took another step up the all-time charts in win over Baskonia

This game won’t go down in the history books as one of the greatest games [Shane Larkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/shane-larkin/007200/) ever played. But the [Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/) star’s place in history only went up during Wednesday night’s [92-76 victory](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/efes-sinks-baskonia-92-76-for-fifth-straight-win/) over [Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/bas/?season=2024-25).

Larkin scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half to help Efes capture its fifth straight win and not only strengthen its chances to qualify for the Play-In Showdown, but to climb into the thick of the fight for a top-six finish and automatic playoff berth. His final stat line saw him make half of his shots, including 4 of 8 from deep, and dish 4 assists for a PIR of 16. He also had a highlight with a crossover dribble that sent his defender to the floor and allowed Larkin to sink an uncontested jumper.

The numbers Larkin posted in the night had extra meaning. He overtook former Olympiacos Piraeus legend [Vassilis Spanoulis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/vassilis-spanoulis/juo/), the current head coach of AS Monaco, for ninth place on the all-time PIR charts with 4,186. He also moved past his former Efes backcourt mate, [Vasa Micic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/vasilije-micic/002580/), for 11th place in EuroLeague history with 1,098 career assists.

Shane Larkin came up big for Efes against Baskonia

Naturally, Larkin's historic feats were not a topic after the game, though the dynamic guard attested to his confidence in his shot.

"We started the season up and down, I don't think we’ve been on a winning streak  like this all year. So to be catching our rhythm, chemistry and all that at the right time is perfect and feels good at the moment," Larkin told EuroLeague TV. "My shot's been feeling great of late. In the first half, I felt like I had some good looks that just rimmed out. But my teammates stayed confident in me and kept giving me opportunities and I trust my work and just started knocking them down."

When Larkin is knocking those shots down, Efes is infinitely better. In the 24:10 that he was on the floor on Wednesday, his team outscored Baskonia by 14. In the remaining 15:50 of game time, the difference between the two sides was a mere 2 points.

It may take some time before Larkin cracks the top 10 in assists as the 10th place belongs to former EuroLeague MVP and LDLC ASVEL guard Nando De Colo who has 1,195 dimes and counting. However, he enters Round 32 trailing Real Madrid center Walter Tavares by 3 for eight place in career PIR. Kyle Hines and injured Monaco guard Nick Calathes share sixth place with PIRs of 4,299.

With 3,538 points, Larkin needs 61 more to reach the all-time top 10 in scoring. Tenth place is occupied by Georgios Printezis. Larkin is also eighth with 546 three-pointers in his career.

The dynamic guard moved into ninth place in career PIR and 11th in assists

Anadolu Efes Istanbul cemented its place among the postseason contenders as it blasted Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz 92-76 on Wednesday at Basketball Development Center in Istanbul for its fifth consecutive win

Efes sinks Baskonia, 92-76, for fifth straight win

Anadolu Efes Istanbul cemented its place among the postseason contenders as it blasted Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz 92-76 on Wednesday at Basketball Development Center in Istanbul for its fifth consecutive win. The victory lifted Efes's record to 17-14, which brings it within one win of sixth place. Baskonia fell to 13-18 and was formally eliminated from postseason contention.

Efes's guards led the way as Rodrigue Beaubois poured in 18 points, Shane Larkin netted 16 and Elijah Bryant paired 11 points with 8 assists, while big man Vincent Poirier was good for 10 points and 6 rebounds. Trent Forrest paced Baskonia with 17 points, 7 assists and 4 steals, Markus Howard added 15 points and Nikos Rogkavopoulos and Khalifa Diop scored 10 each.

Beaubois set the stage for Efes with a chase-down block of Forrest and then a three-pointer second later. Tadas Sedekerskis got Baskonia going with a pair of early threes. The shooters heated up as the lead swung back and forth. Efes looked to pull away as Poirier threw down an alley-oop slam and Beaubois drilled a three-pointer to make it 14-10. Baskonia responded through Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Trent Forrest to even things at 18-18. Luwawu-Cabarrot shook off a pair of defenders to give the visitors a narrow lead. Dan Oturu took charge with a series of slams for Efes, which helped the hosts lead 28-22 at the end of the opening quarter. 

Larkin slalomed through the Baskonia defense for the first basket of the second quarter, which completed a 10-0 run. Rogkavopoulos tried to lead the Baskonia resistance, but baskets by Darius Thompson and Jordan Nwora boosted the Efes advantage to double figures. Ognjen Jaramaz and Forrest knocked down threes for the visitors and Forrest converted a tough shot to get within 39-34. A timeout changed little as Forrest turned a steal into a three-pointer. Efes muscled up to regain control through Beaubois and Derek Willis. A deep three by Howard got Baskonia within 49-44 at the halftime interval.

Diop scored the first three baskets of the second half to give Baskonia the lead and a Sedekerskis slam prompted an Efes timeout. Bryant knocked down a pull-up jumper to end the Efes drought and he then found Ercan Osmani for a three-pointer to restore an Efes edge. Bryant bagged another jumper for a 56-52 cushion. Howard scored and then assisted Diop for a slam that evened things only for Beaubois to answer with 5 straight points. Larkin heated up with a pair of triples to give Efes a 67-59 lead at the end of the third quarter.

The Efes lead was back to double-figures after PJ Dozier scored on the first two possessions of the fourth quarter. Howard sandwiched a pair of threes around another from Larkin as Baskonia looked for answers. Chima Moneke added free throws for his first points of the night. A three by Rogkavopoulos further trimmed the deficit to 78-72. Poirier and Dozier stepped up to give the hosts breathing room. Larkin authored another highlight as his crossover dribble left his defender on the floor before sinking a jumper. Forrest continued to push Baskonia, but the Efes attack remained strong to lock up a critical win.

The hosts' guard trio of Beaubois, Bryant and Larkin stood tall 

With six games taking place on Tuesday and three on Wednesday, how will the playoff picture look after Round 31?

Fenerbahce wrapped up its place in the EuroLeague Playoffs in style by beating Paris 101-100 on a game-winning three-pointer by Nigel Hayes-Davis. Paris star TJ Shorts looked as though he had given his side the victory when he scored a layup with two seconds remaining to set a 98-100 score, but Hayes-Davis caused the roof to come off Ulker Sport and Event Hall with his triple.

Marko Guduric led Fenerbahce in scoring with 25 points. Hayes-Davis ended the night with 19 points, with Errick McCollum pouring in 18 and Tarik Biberovic adding 14. Paris, which could only suit 10 players due to its injury crisis, had Shorts and Nadir Hifi both net 19 points, while Mikael Jantunen had 14, Yakuba Ouattara 13, Kevarrius Hayes 12, and Sebastian Herrera 11.

### [AS Monaco 96-86 Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2024-25/as-monaco-zalgiris-kaunas/E2024/272/)

Monaco clinched a hard-fought overtime victory over Zalgiris to improve its record to 19-12 and remain among the top four teams after 31 rounds. The hosts had to overcome a second-quarter 14-point deficit and trailed 65-72 midway through the last period, but a strong late reaction led by Mike James forced overtime, 80-80. James and Elie Okobo combined for 10 points early in overtime to decide the game as Zalgiris ran out of energy. Zalgiris slipped to 14-17. James led all scorers with 22 points and Okobo followed with 21. Sylvain Francisco paced Zalgiris with 19 points but missed the winning shot in regulation.

### [FC Barcelona 101-102 FC Bayern Munich](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2024-25/fc-barcelona-fc-bayern-munich/E2024/273/)

Bayern grabbed a key road victory in its fight for the playoffs as it rallied to beat Barcelona. In a battle of teams tied in the standings going into the game, Bayern trailed by 8 points with 3 minutes left but its much-maligned defense held on in a 2-11 run to close the game - winning on Vladimir Lucic’s free throws with 17 seconds left. The last of 23 lead changes decided the game and gave Bayern an 18-13 record including a season sweep of Barcelona. Carsen Edwards scored 23 points with 5 assists while Elias Harris had 17 points to lead Bayern. Jabari Parker paced Barcelona with 23 points.

### [Real Madrid 96-89 EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2024-25/real-madrid-ea7-emporio-armani-milan/E2024/276/)

Real Madrid managed to defeat Milan 96-89 in a game it never trailed in, but there will be a sense of frustration for coach Chus Mateo and his men after failing to secure the tiebreaker, having lost by nine points in Italy earlier this season. As such, in the event that Real Madrid and Milan finish the season with the same regular-season record, it will be coach Ettore Messina’s squad that has the advantage. Both sides came into this contest with a 16-14 record, but Los Blancos have improved to 17-14 while Milan drops to 16-15. Dzanan Musa scored 21 points for Real Madrid, which also had Walter Tavares (19 points), Usman Garuba (11) and Facu Campazzo (11) net in double figures. Zach LeDay was Milan’s leading scorer with 15 points, followed by Nikola Mirotic with 14, and Shavon Shields and Fabien Causeur with 13 apiece.
