Panathinaikos B.C. AKTOR Athens sent a clear message to the rest of the EuroLeague as it rolled past the top defense in the competition for a convincing 90-73 home victory over Valencia Basket.

More comfortable in system, Panathinaikos blew past EuroLeague’s top defense 

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens sent a clear message to the rest of the EuroLeague as it rolled past the top defense in the competition for a convincing 90-73 home victory over Valencia Basket.

Valencia came into the game having allowed the fewest points in the league at 73.1 points per game, but Coach Ergin Ataman’s Panathinaikos was not impressed and flashed a balanced and exciting offense to register its fourth straight win.

“I think it was maybe our best game so far,” Ataman said after the win, which pushed Panathinaikos’s record to 6-4. “Once again, we played great basketball. We won the game, but we played great basketball. We had a lot of hustle and we had great synergy with the OAKA. Our fans gave us a lot of motivation. Great defense. Everybody helped each other. On offense we moved the ball inside and outside. Fantastic. A team cannot play better than this in the EuroLeague. I hope it keeps continuing.”

Panathinaikos shared the scoring load with five players in double figures, topped by Mathias Lessort with 16 points and 7 rebounds and Kostas Sloukas added 12 points and 9 assists.

Lessort talked about how the team is really feeling more comfortable in Ataman’s system.

“We are thinking less because things are becoming more automatic. Coach allows us to play more aggressive and be more confident on offense and defense. When you have to think about what you have to do, you lose aggressiveness. But when you know your role and what you need to do on the court you can do it at 100 percent speed and aggressiveness. That has helped us a lot too,” said Lessort.

After earning his 200th victory in the competition by downing Virtus, Ergin Ataman leads the Greens against a Valencia side which has slipped down the standings after losing three in a row. Aleksander Balcerowski and Damien Inglis are reunited after winning the 22/23 EuroCup with Gran Canaria.

Sloukas agreed that the team is coming along, but the playmaker said that is a result of a lot of work at practice.

“I feel very proud because every day, 14 players give everything they have at practice and fight for this atmosphere. We deserve that we are getting better and better game by game because we have worked very hard,” added the veteran playmaker.

Ataman is satisfied with how the team has evolved, especially in the last two games - the win over Valencia and beating Virtus Segafredo Bologna 90-76 last week.

“The players also understood how to play with each other. Not only the system but playing with each other. That is very important. To share the space and create good spacing and pass the ball inside and outside. Now they have more confidence and we played great basketball,” the coach said.

Still Ataman knows that things will get a lot tougher starting next week. Panathinaikos has won its last three games at home and beat ALBA Berlin on the road in Round 7.

The Greens face a tough stretch of games coming up - at Partizan Mozart Bet Belgrade and Anadolu Efes Istanbul the next two games and following a home game against currently undefeated Real Madrid come consecutive road contests at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, AS Monaco and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan.

“It will be important to continue to play this kind of basketball also on the road. We need to play with the same aggressiveness on the road,” Ataman urged.

Panathinaikos has sent a clear message the last four games. But an even more meaningful message is yet to come as Panathinaikos tries to continue the roll on the road.

Barça Basket was without starting center Jan Vesely against Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C. in the EuroLeague in Round 10, but James Nnaji enjoyed an impressive performance to guide the visitors to a 90-92 win.

James Nnaji stepped up at the right time for Barça Basket

In his first Turkish Airlines EuroLeague start since joining Barca in the off-season, Willy Hernangomez delivered from the opening tip, getting 5 quick points to put his team on the right track, 9-11. Despite battling foul trouble throughout the game, Hernangomez finished the game with 13 points and matched a EuroLeague career-high with 8 rebounds for a PIR of 12 in less than 19 minutes.

When Hernangomez had to head to the bench, James Nnaji proved he is ready to make the most out of any opportunity. Nnaji did a little bit of everything, even getting a steal, running the floor like a point guard and finishing the play with a wild two-handed slam. From intimidation to rebounding to self-confidence, Nnaji had a career-best night.

He finished the game with a personal-best 11 points on perfect shooting, hitting his 4 two-point attempts and 3 free throws. He added 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 fouls drawn for a career-high PIR of 16.

Nnaji fouled out with 3:19 left in the game. Just 12 seconds later, Hernangomez was called for his fifth foul, too. Coach Grimau was forced to use a smaller lineup with Nikola Kalinic at power forward and Oscar Da Silva at center.

James Nnaji finished the game with a personal-best 11 points on perfect shooting, hitting his 4 two-point attempts and 3 free throws. He added 4 rebounds, 2 assist a steal and 3 fouls drawn for a PIR of 16, a new career-high.

Nnaji has career game in Belgrade

Even though Nico Laprovittola made the difference down the stretch, scoring his team's last 5 points, Da Silva came up with the key defensive stop. After Laprovittola missed a free throw with 12.3 seconds left, Lorenzo Brown had a chance to win the game with a three-point shot. Brown forced a pick-and-roll switch to be guarded by da Silva, who contested his opponent's last shot to perfection. Brown missed the shot and Barca won the game.

"It was totally a team effort. Some of our players are missing and we came what we had. And we put our whole energy as a team, and that's why we won: as a team," Nnaji said after the game. "I think playing \[good\] defense in the last quarter made us win the game."

"We stayed together during the game. We didn't play very good defense but Oscar da Silva made the important defense and we go home with a victory," Laprovittola said. "We needed this victory for our confidence. We have a lot of things to improve but if you win, you look better."

Maccabi finished the game with a team PIR of 102, much higher than Barca, which had a PIR of 87. Blocked shots and fewer fouls committed allowed Maccabi to get a higher PIR but in the end, Barca went back home with its eighth victory.

Bold predictions for Round 10

### Bayern will rain on ASVEL's parade

#### *by Frank Lawlor*

It's a bottom-of-the-table clash with extra meaning [as LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (2-7) welcomes FC Bayern Munich (3-6)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne-fc-bayern-munich/E2023/82/) for opening night of the new LDLC Arena, which will be a boon for French basketball and the host club far into the future. ASVEL aims to celebrate the occasion with a victory, and the French club has indeed played with admirable fire since Gianmarco Pozzecco took over the bench, winning two of their five games together. But without Nando De Colo, who is injured, to lend his experience, it will be a tall order for ASVEL to get its first home win this season in its new home. Bayern, despite losing four of its last five games, seems to be coming together under new head coach Pablo Laso. Three of those losses were on the road and came by a total of 10 points. This will be Bayern's seventh of 10 games so far away from Munich, and save for a trip to Barcelona, the German team has been in every one of them, even winning at Baskonia. It won't be the least bit easy, but mark this one down as Bayern's second road win and fifth in succession against ASVEL. 

### Milan will finally win on the road

#### *by Frankie Sachs*

[When EA7 Emporio Armani Milan  (3-6) visits Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (3-6) on Friday](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade-ea7-emporio-armani-milan/E2023/88/), it will be carrying a streak of seven straight road losses with it. And that is where it will end. Milan is one of just three teams without a road win so far this season. The other two are Zvezda and ALBA Berlin. At home, Milan has looked like a different team. Head coach Ettore Messina's men have a winning record (3-2) at Mediolanum Forum and have averaged 88.3 points over their last three home games. Now, they have found their offensive groove, with the likes of Devon Hall and Nicolo Melli both coming off their best games of the season. If Milan brings that type of firepower to Belgrade, it should come in handy against Zvezda, which has held the last two visitors to Stark Arena to 68 and 56 points. 

With two teams in the midst of opposite trajectories, Zvezda pursue more momentum and a seventh win succession when they welcome a stuttering Milan outfit in urgent need of encouragement if they're to improve their dwindling prospects of a playoff-place.

### Monaco will bounce back in Vitoria 

#### *by Javier Gancedo*

AS Monaco (5-4) is currently on a two-game losing streak, [which should end at Buesa Arena](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz-as-monaco/E2023/90/). In Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (5-4), Mike James plays against one of his former teams, the one he made his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut with. He lost his last four games at Buesa Arena with Milan, CSKA Moscow and Monaco, and should be extra motivated to have a monster performance. Baskonia has already lost three home games, as many as in the entire 2022-23 EuroLeague season, so the pressure should be on head coach Dusko Ivanovic's team. Monaco can match Baskonia's intensity and Chima Moneke should not have it easy against a top-class defender like John Brown. Although Jordan Loyd is listed as questionable to play, Monaco is ready to show his best version in Round 10 and steal a road victory.

### Howard and James will combine for more than 60 points

#### *by Igor Petrinovic*

In two victories last week Baskonia sharpshooter Markus Howard totaled 61 points, knocking down 12 triples on 24 attempts over two games. After a slow start to the season, Howard is the leading scorer in the EuroLeague since Round 4, and over those last six games he has been averaging 22.3 points per game. Howard has scored more than 25 points three times during that span, and I think he keeps it going when Monaco comes to Vitoria-Gasteiz. This time, however, [he will have a scoring showdown](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz-as-monaco/E2023/90/) with Mike James, who knows Buesa Arena really well, having played there for couple of seasons More importantly, James will be super-motivated to get Monaco back to winning ways against a red-hot opponent. James has not scored 25 or more points so far this season, with his season-high being 24 in 21 minutes of a Round 5 blowout win against Maccabi. I see James putting up big numbers on Friday night against Baskonia's defense.

### Olympiacos to cause another headache for Zalgiris

#### *by Geoff Gillingham*

Just before the 2023-24 EuroLeague season got underway, Olympiacos Piraeus (5-4) threw a spanner in the works of Zalgiris Kaunas's plans by paying Ignas Brazdeikis's buyout. Then, on Tuesday, the Reds returned to the Lithuanian club by once again paying the buyout of one of its players, Naz Mitrou-Long. Although it only Brazdeikis can play [in Round 10 on Friday night](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/olympiacos-piraeus-zalgiris-kaunas/E2023/89/), with Mitrou-Long not able to feature until January, Zalgiris (4-5) will likely take to the floor at Peace and Friendship Stadium with revenge on its mind after losing two key pieces to its rotation. Yet, I think Olympiacos will still have too much for the visiting Zalgiris, as the Reds should improve to 6-4 and cause Kazys Maksvytis's squad to drop to 4-6. What's more, I expect Brazdeikis to try and put on a show, despite having had a limited role in Georgios Bartzokas's offense so far.
