Enough nervous was the start of the game, with both teams missing consecutive drives from behind the three-point line. With two of his two points Flioni and a three-pointer by Miles, h AEK preceded by 8-4 in the first five minutes of the match.
As time went on, the Pigeon bwin he was finding solutions in the offensive part, with them Francisco and Denmon to enter the “equation” of the match and with their own free kicks from behind 6.75m, they brought the guests at +1 (13-14 at 7′).
