THE Olympic hosts him PAOK at the Peace and Friendship Stadium (19:05, BwinSPORT FM 94.6, sport-fm.gr ERT3), for the Game 3 of the semi-final series of the Basket League playoffs.

Three nights ago, the “red and white” left no room for a reaction to PAOK, whom they defeated with characteristic comfort (77-97) in Pylaia, thus doing it 2-0 in the series.



A victory that “healed” a place of the… wounds of the Piraeus after the lost final of the Euroleague, at the same time bringing the team of Giorgos Bartzokas one step before the finals of the domestic championship. Tonight, Olympiacos will aim to take out… a broom and finish the series in front of his audience.

On the other hand, the “Two-Headed Man of the North” appears how… paid for the broken ones of Real Madrid, as well, could not repeat it good and competitive person that showed in Game 1 (83-65), knowing this time hands down.

Now, the Thessalonians are only hoping for a… miracle tonight, with the truth being that the minds of everyone at the club are on the next day and the new season.

In the competition now, the hosts for the second consecutive game cannot count on his services Tarik Black, who has been out for four days, suffering from a hematoma on his left knee and undergoing conservative treatment. Let’s remember that Isaiah Kaanan is also out for Giorgos Bartzokas, with the American guard being the one who was cut from the “red and white” list for the Basket League playoffs.

On the opposite bank, Fotis Takianos does not face any schedule, with PAOK traveling to Athens with all their available weapons.
