Panathinaikos Falls to Armani Milan in Shocking Second-Half Collapse

Panathinaikos lost 87-74 to Armani Milan at the 'Telekom Center Athens' in the 20th round of the EuroLeague, dropping to 12-8. Ergin Ataman's team suffered its second consecutive defeat and its second at home, while Armani reached 2/2 against Panathinaikos this season. Panathinaikos performed well in the first half but collapsed in the second, showing sluggishness and allowing Armani to take control. Armani Brooks was the top scorer for Armani with 24 points, repeating his excellent performance from the previous game against Panathinaikos. Kostas Sloukas stood out for Panathinaikos with a double-double (13 points, 10 assists), and Juancho Hernangomez with 17 points and 7 rebounds. However, the team's overall performance was disappointing, especially in the second half. In the next round, Panathinaikos will face Virtus Bologna at home, while Armani will play against Anadolu Efes in Milan.
