Real

Madrid

lost (87-86) this Thursday during their visit to

Panathinaikos

on matchday 33 of the

Euroleague

, leaving the fight open for second place in the playoffs.

His rival did not play anything but he enjoyed more success and better basketball.

[Narration and statistics: 87-86]

Pablo Laso

's team

did not tie second place in the Regular Phase, a priori a better matchup to the 'Final Four' than being third or fourth, and conceded their

third continental defeat in a row

.

The whites give life to Armani Milan

and

Olympiacos

in that 'Top 4'

, while PAO, penultimate, bid farewell to the Euroleague at home, subduing Madrid almost from the start.

The 10-time European champion, who had 13 wins in a row against the team from Athens, was in tow (20-9) from the first quarter due to the great game that

Nedovic

and

Papagiannis

were already showing (18 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks).

Madrid closed the first quarter with only one assist, 4 of 15 in baskets, and did not appear in defense either.

Tavares

(12 points and 12 rebounds) accepted the battle with Papagiannis, with moments for both, and the Spanish team pushed back with

Rudy Fernández

.

The Spaniard burst into the delicate stretch of the second quarter, missing his usual points from

Yabusele

.

Taylor

's defense of

Nedovic also helped change the landscape.

incomplete comeback

The 'PAO' found alternatives and the exchange of blows was not enough for the whites (41-32), in a ten-year lead that the local team kept like gold on cloth.

The mastery of the rebound, without success, did not get Madrid out of poor, while the game returned to the duel of giants between Papagiannis and Tavares.

The Cape Verdean was enough at times, but the income remained green, with

Macon

and

Evans

.

Madrid found points in

Thompkins

and threatened to come back (56-51) but an impossible triple by

Papapetrou

kept the Greek faith.

Tavares and

Rudy

kept the bet but 'PAO''s wrist did not shake with Macon, despite the final streak of triples by Laso's men.
