Only a few could have foreseen a big turnaround like the one that took place in the second half of the game between Panathinaikos Athens and Zalgiris Kaunas at OAKA on Thursday night. The visitors were dominating 27-42 at halftime and the home team looked totally collapsed on both ends.
But all of a sudden, the scenario turned upside down in the third quarter, which finished with Panathinaikos outscoring its opponent 37-16 to enter the last stanza ruling 64-58. And the main responsible for that change was Paris Lee, who erupted for 17 points in those 10 minutes to put Panathinaikos in front and bring the fans to their feet.
