With Nedovic scoring crucial points and the hosts missing shots in crunch time, the “Greens” survived a late thriller over Armani.

Panathinaikos climbed to 4-7 in the EuroLeague standings, whereas Armani dropped to 6-4.

CSKA Moscow extended its EuroLeague winning streak to seven games, after dominating Olympiacos at home (80-61).

The “Reds” led by eight early in the game (9-17), yet the Russians took over after that and never looked back.

CSKA became the first team to reach nine wins in the EuroLeague (9-3), whereas Olympiacos dropped to 5-5.

Fenerbahce snapped a four-game losing streak, thanks to a 65-73 victory over Zenit Saint Petersburg.

The Turks led by as many as 17, yet an 18-0 run helped the hosts make a comeback.

The visitors, though, sealed the deal behind an 0-10 run of their own midway the fourth quarter.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv put an end to a three-game losing streak after a hard-fought victory over Crvena Zvezda at home (81-76).

Elijah Bryant took over, though, scored 14 points in six minutes in the fourth quarter and handed Maccabi the victory.

Both teams now have identical records in the EuroLeague (4-8).

ALBA Berlin set a new club record in three-pointers (17) and rallied past Valencia on the road (92-100).
