The 25-year-old guard led his team to a third consecutive home victory. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens made its first visit to the PalaDozza this century on Friday night, facing a Virtus Bologna team that has been dominant at home to start the 2025-26 season. The historic arena, which served as Virtus’s primary venue from 1957 to 1996, has been used intermittently since 2017. This season, however, Virtus Arena was unavailable until now. But at the PalaDozza, the Italian side has been in impressive form, recently defeating Real Madrid, AS Monaco and now Panathinaikos.

In Round 6, Virtus defeated Panathinaikos 92-75, winning all four quarters. Coach Dusko Ivanovic’s squad controlled the game, particularly in the first half, leading 48-35 at halftime. Virtus outworked the Greens, dominating the boards with a 23–14 advantage in rebounds and recording 7 steals.

“It’s an easy game to analyze. Virtus played better throughout. They were tougher than us. We didn’t defend well and allowed every player to score easily,” said Panathinaikos assistant Christos Serelis after the game, as head coach Ergin Ataman was ejected early in the second half. “Our pick-and-roll defense and transition defense were very poor. We didn’t match their energy at all.”

  1. Now that's the way you approach and play a match: rhythm, pace, energy, intensity. Even if your team is much inferior, if you have these qualities you can beat anyone. See Milan? Is it so difficult?

  2. You can’t expect a team to finish a competition without losing a game. You’ll lose eventually. Nothing’s changed you fall, you get up. Go Pao! 💚

  3. Μεγάλη πατάτα φέτος ο παναθηναϊκός παιδιά.. Όχι φάιναλ-φόρ…. ούτε έξω από την Αθήνα δεν θα βγούνε.
    Μα είναι δυνατόν ολόκληρος παναθηναϊκός να μην μπορεί να πάρει έναν center της προκοπής!
    Ξεφτίλα !

  4. So many naive people…who believe virtus won because of good play. Millions profit behind this defeat. (for panathinaikos and virtus) for those who have the brain to understand

  5. I tifosi tutti pagliacci quando vincono cantano e stanno lì fino alla fine normalmente il tifoso virtus esce prima della fine e quando le cose non vanno bene il silenzio pagliacci facile esultare sul carro dei vincitori !!!

  6. 16-28 free throws for Panathinaikos and he still managed to lose with such a huge difference…Even though he was guest he took 12 more free throws!!! Maybe we should give him 50 from now and on and none to the opponent, maybe that way he will win!😂😂😂

  7. PG, Pajola had the whole PAO team on the palm of his hand last night.. he played them like a begleri (worry-beads)! 😅😂

  8. Μεγάλη ασέβεια προς τον Σλουκα χθες. Δεν είναι αυτή χρησιμοποίηση για ένα ηγέτη σαν αυτόν. Ανάθεμα αν του δώθηκαν 10 φασεις στο ματς να οργανώσει. Αυτός θα πρέπει να είναι ο κύριος οργανωτής.

  9. La miglior Virtus vista quest'anno. Per la prima volta Smailagic è sembrato un giocatore di basket, mentre Edwards è il solito fenomeno. Bene anche Niang che continua a dare speranze per la nostra derelitta nazionale
