Real Madrid (11-1) is aiming to complete a perfect Greek week as it travels to Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (6-6), which wants to respond after losing at Efes on Tuesday.
Game Notes: Panathinaikos vs. Madrid
2023-24
3 Mins read
The Greens couldn’t get their offense going on Tuesday, with nobody scoring more than 13 points, and will look to Kostas Sloukas to recover his best form after netting just 6 and 9 points in the last two games. Real showed its defensive excellence by holding Olympiacos to 71 points to claim victory in Piraeus on Tuesday, while Mario Hezonja and Dzanan Musa delivered at the offensive end with 18 and 23 points, respectively. Head coach Chus Mateo's deep roster has been further strengthened by Carlos Alocen returning from injury after 22 months out. The reigning champ will be a tough nut to crack at OAKA.
