The Rick Pitino effect gave Panathinaikos OPAP the chance for a fresh start, but Nick Calathes remained the floor general.

Panathinaikos beat CSKA Moscow on Friday. Surely, Rick Pitino’s debut was the biggest story for the Greens, but Nick Calathes’ performance on the court was the real difference between the two teams in the EuroLeague Regular Season Round 15 game.

The 29-year-old point guard notched his third double-double in the four last EuroLeague Gamedays. He sank 14 points and dished ten assists, but also had six rebounds and three steals in 31:40. His effort was enough for a season-high 26 performance index rating.
