Panionios will go into this week's very important EuroCup game at Turk Telekom on the back of a 71-63 setback at Olympia Larisas and woeful free throw shooting was a key factor in the defeat.

Luca Pavicevic's men finished the game an appalling 13 of 25 (52%), with Andre Hutson and Panagiotis Kafkis each making just three of six (50%), Vladislav Dragojlovic sinking five of eight (62.5%) and Damir Miljkovic missing both of his attempts.

Panionios trailed 62-55 in the fourth quarter when a pair of Efstratios Perperoglou three-pointers closed the gap to just one.

Olympia Larisas, who went nearly three minutes without scoring, stretched the advantage back to 65-61 with a three-ball by Giorgos Printezis just 4:40 from the end.

A basket by Panionios'  Aleksandar Subara cut the deficit to two with 4:14 to play, but they failed to score the rest of the way.

Maroussi, who are 0-4 in Round II of the EuroCup, were brushed aside by AEP Olimpiada Patron, 72-44.
