Panathinaikos continued their poor performance in the league with a surprising defeat at home, losing 102-97 to Kolossos Rodou during the 19th game week. This loss marks a historic moment for the visitors, as they achieved their first-ever away victory against the green-clad team, ending a long streak of 27 consecutive losses in their encounters. The defeat was particularly challenging for Panathinaikos, who had been performing well up to this point of the season.

Kolossos capitalized on the struggling form of Panathinaikos, showcasing excellent teamwork and scoring ability. Six players from Kolossos finished the game with double-digit points, including standout performances from Mac (19 points), Nichols (17 points), Galvanini (16 points, 12 rebounds), and Kennedy (14 points). On the other side, Osman and Nan led the scoring for Panathinaikos with 19 and 15 points respectively, but their efforts fell short as the team struggled across the board.

This victory for Kolossos is significant not only for boosting their morale but also for improving their standings in the league, raising their record to 5-13 and placing them 10th in the table. In contrast, Panathinaikos, despite the loss, holds a strong record of 15-3 and remains in third place. The implications for both teams could be considerable, as Kolossos seeks to build on this unexpected success while Panathinaikos aims to regain their form moving forward.
