A fourth-quarter surge in Madrid

Panathinaikos AKTOR won 115-112 in overtime at Real Madrid on 4 November 2026, in the 10th round of the Euroleague. The teams were level at 101-101 after regulation.

Coach reaction

After the game, Zeljko Obradovic praised Nunn's performance and the quality he brings to the team. He said Nunn's return from injury had not been easy and that everyone needed to be patient with him.

“Nunn played brilliantly. We all know the quality he has.”

Željko Obradović, panathinaikos head coach

Obradovic also said Real Madrid had played well and that deciding a game in overtime takes a lot, and he pointed to the need for improvement on defence.

“We played brilliantly on offense, but we need to step up a little on defense too.”

Željko Obradović, panathinaikos head coach
