AEK and Panathinaikos fought a hard battle on the court at SUNEL Arena, with the “Greens” dominating down the stretch, however, and thanks to a spectacular performance by Badio, they secured an 83-74 victory in the 6th round of the Stoiximan GBL.
A Panionios team plagued by a thousand problems stood toe-to-toe with Panathinaikos, despite Brown’s injury—which appears to be serious and involves his Achilles tendon—as well as Flionis’s abdominal issue. Essentially, AEK finished the game with a rotation of seven players, which Dragan Sakota tried to manage.
