Jankovic and Hunter quickly made their 4th fouls and for the home team, Mavrokefalides was once again fighting alone, managing to keep his club close with 10 points only during the 3rd period. Darden was there to establish the “Reds’” lead at the end of the quarter, 50-54, and now the pressure was heavy on Panathinaikos side. Olympiacos was looking to create a good point margin and so they did at the 34th minute, 58-67. After that, the home team came closer again but they missed a couple of important free throws that did not allow them to make the ending a close one. MVP was Darden with 14 points and very important shots while Printezis was the top scorer for his club with 17. Mavrtokefalides shined with 28 points for the defeated Panathinaikos that have to overcome themselves and stay alive in the title fight.
