Panathinaikos Athens advanced comfortably to the Greek Cup semifinals with a commanding 101-71 victory over PAOK. New signing Nigel Hayes-Davis made an impressive debut in the green jersey, contributing significantly to this convincing win.

A remarkable collective performance led by Richaun Holmes

Richaun Holmes was the game’s leading scorer with 21 points, followed by Kendrick Nunn who added 14 points. Cedi Osman and Dinos Mitoglou also contributed 10 points each, showcasing Panathinaikos’ depth.

For PAOK, the result stung, but Breein Tyree provided a bright spot with 16 points. Timmy Allen added 14, and Nikos Chougkazchipped in 10, giving the visitors some offensive balance. Still, those individual efforts couldn’t keep pace with Athens’ firepower once the game opened up.

A path to the semifinals takes shape

With the win, Panathinaikos will face Iraklis in the semifinals on February 19. The other quarterfinals saw Maroussi defeat Aris 87-80, Olympiacos dominate AEK Athens 81-67, and Iraklis crush Mykonos 93-65.
