The match:
THE PAOK entered the match stronger and with the help of his good defense he took the lead with 8-5 at 4′. Then, the Pigeon bwin found his footing and with Hunts and Rungland leading the way offensively, he went on a 10-0 run to make it 15-8 in the 7th. With consecutive baskets by Maknis, the Thessaloniki team gathered the difference, but the three-pointer of Mitro-Logn towards the end formed the 20-14 in the first period.
In the second quarter, his team Vasilis Spanoulis upped her performance even more, bringing energy and passion to both ends of the floor. Which resulted in the “two-headed man of the north” blocking aggressively, with the bwin Pigeon on the other hand putting the long shot into his game and launching the difference in double digit value. With three three-pointers by Hugaz and one by Williams, the hosts typically “unlocked” the opposing defense, closing the first half at +15 for 41-26.
The many and accumulated mistakes of the team of Fotis Takianos, but also the many missed shots of the “black and white” during the longest period of third period, they allowed the bwin Pigeon to go even at +20 (50-30 at 27′). In the last three minutes of the quarter, PAOK found two collected three-pointers from Chiakmathus reducing the difference to 16 for the 53-37 of the period.
Despite all the efforts that PAOK made in the fourth and final period to get back into the match, all they managed to do was reduce to 12 points, with Peristeri bwin easily and without stress reaching the pink match sheet with final 64-49.
The quarters: 20-14, 41-26, 53-37, 64-49.
