Game Recap
Panathinaikos edged Lyon-Villeurbanne 79–78 in a one-point EuroLeague finish, surviving a tight contest that stayed within a single possession late. With both teams trading runs and answers throughout, the game came down to execution in the final minutes rather than any sustained separation on the scoreboard.
In the closing stretch, Panathinaikos managed the decisive possessions more cleanly, getting enough quality looks to stay in front and then protecting the lead with a final defensive stand. Lyon-Villeurbanne had opportunities to reclaim the game, but the margins were razor-thin and the last sequence ultimately favored the visitors.
Because individual stat lines and full team shooting/rebounding/assist totals were not provided, standout performances can only be described in general terms: Panathinaikos received timely scoring and late-game composure, while Lyon-Villeurbanne’s balanced effort kept the pressure on until the final horn. The result is a valuable road win for Panathinaikos in the EuroLeague standings race, while Lyon-Villeurbanne will view this as a missed chance—yet also a performance that suggests they can compete deep into games against top opposition if they tighten late-game execution.
