·

Panathinaikos secured their place in the Euroleague Final Four after defeating Anadolu Efes 75-67 in Game 5 of the playoff series on Tuesday night, May 6, in Athens, clinching the series 3-2.

Backed by 20,000 fans at the Olympic Sports Hall, the Greens started strong, leading by as many as 23 points in the first half.

Though Efes cut the gap to just three in the third quarter, standout performances from Cedi Osman (28 points) and Jerian Grant (11 points) helped the hosts hold on. Kendrick Nunn also contributed 12 points.

Eventually two jump-shots by Grant gave Panathinaikos an unassailable lead into the final minute, securing their return to the Euroleague Final Four on May 23-25 in Abu Dhabi.

Panathinaikos will face Fenerbahce in the semifinal, while fellow Greek side Olympiakos takes on Monaco.
