Panathinaikos made it to the Final Four by overcoming Maccabi Tel Aviv in the quarterfinals, winning the series 3-2 after a decisive fifth game. To reach the EuroLeague final, they need to stop Fenerbahce’s transition game and effectively defend against their three-point shooting, which is their biggest threat.
Panathinaikos is third in the league for three-point shooting accuracy at 38.7% and has the second-best defense, allowing only 77.9 points per game. They also restrict opponents to 34.0% shooting from beyond the arc, the second lowest in the league. However, Juancho Hernangomez is questionable for the game.
Fenerbahce made a pivotal decision by changing their coach, with Sarunas Jasikevicius leading the team to the Final Four after a historic Game 5 victory against Monaco in Monte Carlo, winning the series 3-2. This is their first Final Four since 2019.
This season, Fenerbahce has broken several EuroLeague records for three-point shooting, a key factor in their strong performances. They lead the league with 11.5 three-pointers made per game and top the charts in three-point accuracy at 39.5%. However, Raul Neto and Yigit Hamza are injured and will not play.
On the other hand, Panathinaikos ranks third in the league for three-point shooting at 38.7%, allows the second-lowest points per game at 77.9, and holds opponents to 34.0% three-point shooting, also the second lowest in the league.
