Panathinaikos Beat Monaco to Clinch EuroLeague Playoff Spot in Play-In Showdown

Posted : 22 April 2026

The EuroLeague Play-In round delivered another night of high-stakes basketball, with Panathinaikos BC producing a disciplined performance to book their place in the playoffs. Facing AS Monaco Basket, the Greek side controlled the game from start to finish to seal an 87–79 victory.

Panathinaikos established their advantage early, setting a strong tempo in the opening quarter and carrying that momentum into halftime with a comfortable lead. Although Monaco showed signs of a comeback after the break, the early deficit proved too much to overturn as Panathinaikos maintained composure in the closing stages.

A major contributor to the win was TJ Shorts, whose impact off the bench added energy and scoring efficiency. His ability to control the pace and deliver key points helped keep Panathinaikos firmly in command, while the team’s overall depth ensured consistency throughout the contest.

Monaco, guided by Mike James, remained competitive but struggled to recover from their slow start. Despite individual efforts to close the gap, they were unable to break through as Panathinaikos managed the final minutes effectively.

The victory secures Panathinaikos a place in the EuroLeague playoffs, where they will face tougher opposition in the next round. Meanwhile, Monaco’s campaign comes to an end, highlighting the unforgiving nature of the Play-In format, where early mistakes can prove decisive.
