Panathinaikos delivered a crushing 90-67 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv in a EuroLeague matchup that saw the Greek team lead by as many as 30 points. Maccabi struggled offensively, scoring only 24 points in the first half and missing all 10 of their three-point attempts. Greek media lauded Panathinaikos, coached by Željko Obradović, for their dominant performance, which improved their season record to 3-0.
