Hapoel Tel Aviv delivered a stunning performance in Greece, defeating Panathinaikos 91-81 in a EuroLeague basketball game. The Israeli team, coached by Dimitris Itoudis, controlled the game and led by double digits in the final quarter, shocking the Greek hosts.
Greek media reacted with disbelief to Hapoel's victory. Gazetta described Panathinaikos's performance as making "basic mistakes" and noted that Hapoel "entered OAKA's hell and came out unscathed," even after a Greek run. The article highlighted Hapoel's defense, which remained strong after a previous game against Partizan Belgrade, and their ability to "punish" their opponent's errors.
Sport 24 echoed these sentiments, calling Hapoel's win a "statement of intent." The outlet pointed out Panathinaikos's inability to correct their "basic mistakes" during the game. While Sylvain Francisco was noted as the only player performing for the Greek team, their defense failed to meet the required standard against a "smart" Hapoel squad. Hapoel's players Dan Ororo and Zach LeDay were credited with causing significant problems in Panathinaikos's paint, and the Israeli team capitalized on turnovers for points.
