The Panathinaikos basketball players, who started the duel very actively, took advantage of the involuntary shots of the home team and were still 24:11 at the end of the first half.

Rimas Kurtinaitis managed to wake up his students only at the end of the second half, when distant snipers Janis Timma and Jonas Jerebko equaled 33:33.

After the big break, Chimki’s basketball players again breathed on the opponents back until they took the lead at half time and advanced 57:52.

10 minutes left to play. The Moscow area team led 62:59, and Vyacheslav Zaitsev, who scored 11 points in a few minutes, helped the field owners dictate the conditions late in the third quarter.

In the latter half, an extremely persistent point-to-point fight broke out. There are 2 minutes to play. the score was 73:73, but the Athens team managed to escape ahead 73:78.

Dairis Bertanis scored an accurate triple and gave Chimki’s team hope (76:78). However, Bertan’s latest pitch, which could have started overtime, was inappropriate. R. Kurtinaitis was left with only one untapped opportunity.

Both teams scored poorly from the three-point line, hitting 5 shots of 23 (21.7%), but the fight for rebounds was won by the visitors from Athens (39:32). R. Kurtinaitis could not make the most of J. Timma, because the Latvian quickly accumulated 4 fouls, and was forced to sit on the bench before the decisive minutes of the match.

Chimki played Friday without his stars Alexei Švedas, legionnaires Greg Monroe and Stefan Jovic.

Chimki“: Devin Booker 15, Dairis Bertanis 14, Jordan Mickey 12, Vyacheslav Zaitsev 11, Jonas Jerebko (9 sec.) And Janis Timma 9 each, Sergei Monia and Sergei Karasiov 3 each.

The next match of the Rimas Kurtinaitis students will be played in their place on October 9 with Kaunas “Žalgiris”, who snatched the victory in the away game against Piraeus “Olympiakos” at the start of the Euroleague 68:67 .
