Nunn with a buzzer-beating mid-court triple! Motorola Magic Moment
It was Lessort who scored the first basket on the renovated Oaka Altion floor with a put-back before a Nunn triple, a layup from Konstantinos Mitoglou and a Cedi Osman three-pointer saw Panathinaikos go on a 10-0 run. Bayern responded with a 0-5 surge, but Mitoglou netted his second bucket of the game to restore a 14-5 lead. Nunn took his tally to 10 points with a step-back triple after breaking Edwards’s ankles and although the latter responded with a three-point play, the hosts took a 25-16 lead into the second quarter.
Booker opened the second with a ferocious dunk, but the hosts replied with a 6-0 run, as Omer Yurtseven and Hernangomez opened their accounts off the bench, 31-18. A couple of Bayern turnovers allowed Panathinaikos to hit on the break and Hernangomez made it 37-20 with an open slam. Lessort added 8 points to his tally, but triples from Johannes Voigtmann and Andreas Obst gave Bayern the opportunity to cut the difference to 47-34 at the break.
Solid defense, exemplary transition basketball and offensive rebounds allowed the hosts to pull away in the opening stages of the second half, extending their lead to 57-38. Bayern responded with a 2-7 run, with Edwards nailing another three-point play. Then, a Lessort bucket was followed by 3 free throws from Napier before a Nick Weiler-Babb triple brought Bayern within 61-51. Yurtseven took his tally to 6 points from inside, but a triple from Oscar da Silva saw Bayern trim the deficit to single digits for the first time since early in the second quarter and made it 66-58 heading into the fourth.
An Obst triple was followed by an easy bucket from Booker, but Panathinaikos bounced back and extended its lead to 78-65 courtesy of three-pointers from Grant and Juancho, as well as a Brown dunk in transition. Bayern tried to fight back, but a corner triple from Brown and an impressive one-handed slam from Lessort boosted Panathinaikos’s lead to 85-72, with the reigning champion practically finishing it off in crunch time.
