Return to victories ...
Basconia fought it in Milan on the return of Velimir Perasovic, constantly responding to the outbursts of the Italians, staying in the game until the end, but failing to overtake the Italians from 27-29 at the beginning of the second quarter. This was due to the inability of the team to limit Micov and James who hit it with 2 and 22 points respectively. First home game with Perasovic at the helm and indisputable goal to return to victories, so as not to see the team fade again. The record 20-8 is unfair to them, since Baskonia has much more potential. Only Jason Granger is absent again.
In a very good condition the Pascual team in November a month full of demanding games. With the exception of the unfortunate appearance in Istanbul and the defeat with 78-62 from Efes, Budoucnostos, Barcelona and Olympiakos, one for the Greek championship, prevailed over the epoch. With the record at 5-3 it is within 8 of Euroleague. There has always been a problem for the team for the away games, which are very difficult and very problematic.
Here things are clear for the Spanish team. If it is a game that must take and react, it is against Panathinaikos. With Perasovic's aura against a very often troubled opponent away from his home base and with the team's record being very poor, victory is a one-way street.
I go to 1 (-3,5) at 1,85 of Stoiximan, looking for the reaction of Baskonia that is crammed early in the ropes, against the most comfortable Panathinaikos.
