Valencia defeats Panathinaikos in 37th round of Euroleague

In the 37th and penultimate round of the Euroleague, Valencia defeated Panathinaikos with a score of 102-84 at the Roig Arena. Following this loss, the Greek team holds a 21-16 record and has lost the mathematical possibility of finishing in the top four. Panathinaikos now faces significant difficulty in securing a top-six spot, as their qualification depends on the results of other teams, specifically Zalgiris and Hapoel. The team, coached by Ergin Ataman, struggled significantly compared to their previous victory against Barcelona. Panathinaikos is scheduled to conclude the regular season by hosting Anadolu Efes on April 17th. Dimitris Giannakopoulos, the owner of the team, attended the match to support the squad. Key players such as Rogkavopoulos, Toliopoulos, and Samontourov were absent from the roster for this away fixture.
