The Khimki club has been getting into trouble since the beginning of the season.
Numerous unfavorable situations in Mytiščiai led to the dismissal of head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis, but it will be extremely difficult to create a miracle for Lithuanian heir Andrejs Malceva, who is in a new sled.
Legionnaires Greg Monroe and Jonas Jerebko left the Khimki club, and four more players were unable to play at OAKA Stadium: Alexei Švedas, Janis Timma, Devin Booker and Yegor Vialcev.
In addition, the Russian team arrived in Greece just 7-8 hours before kick-off, and behind the scenes they began to talk about financial problems at the club, which usually has an impressive budget.
In Athens, Chimki fought in a quarter and a half. Before the long break, the Panathinaikos players started 46:33 after two halves, and after the decisive quarter they had a 19-point lead – 70:51.
The decisive fourth became a procedure in which the Odedo Kattash students, who were in control of the situation, achieved the 7th victory of this season. This was the strategist’s first victory in the Euroleague.
The main forge of Panathinaikos’ victory on Thursday was tall man Konstantinos Mitoglou, who played a career match.
The Greek only scored 26 utility points in the first half of the match, and finished the match on his own account with 28 points in 28 minutes (10/14 dvit., 9/9 penalties), bounced 12 balls (8 attacks) , made 2 assists, once made a mistake and scored 42 utility points.
This is the third performance in the Euroleague this season.
The Greek champions threw up to 20 balls under their opponents’ basket, as much as Chimki combined.

Panathinaikos: Konstantinos Mitoglou 29 (chapter 12, 42nd ed.), Nemanja Nedovičius 21, Aaron White 9.
