The Pigeon bwin produced by far his best performance of the year, leaving with the impressive 103-74 from the closed “Agios Thomas” and its headquarters Amarousioufor the 5th game of the Basket League!
In a game where the management of the Northern Suburbs team honored Vassilis Spanoulis for his contribution to the club from 2001 to 2005, Peristeriotes were impressive and thanks to their excellent second half they celebrated their second victory in the league.
Leading for the winners was Hunts with 23 points, with Williams and Rangland to add 13 and 12 points respectively. For Marousi, which fell to 1-4, the standouts were Thousand and Radulitsa with 18 points each.
The match:
The Pigeon bwin came stronger on the floor of “Agios Thomas” and led 10-6 in the 3′. Then, the Maroussi found balance in defense and attack, temporarily reducing to 12-11, before the visitors responded with a small 5-0 for +6 (11-17) in the 6th minute. Taking advantage of Peristeriou’s many fouls, Maroussi scored eight points from the line and with Stasinos’ three-pointer at the end, closed the quarter at +1 for 25-24.
In fact, with another three-pointer by the Greek guard and a goal-foul by Juston, the Northern Suburbs team escaped for the first time at +5 (21-26) at 12′. From that point on, however, the guests turned up the “turns” in the attack and with the “weapon” of the long shot (5 three-pointers in the last 8 minutes), they not only overturned the match, but also escaped with eight points (44-52) at 18′! With two consecutive 3-pointers by Yiannopoulos at the end, Marousi broke loose offensively, with both teams going to the locker room with score 52-55.
The third period was the one that decided the match, since Vassilis Spanoulis’ team came out on the court with a terrible mood in defense and attack. Which had the effect of catapulting the difference and laying solid foundations for the pink match sheet. With a quick 10-0 run, the visitors turned a fragile 58-60 into 58-70 at 25′, while a little later, the three consecutive three-pointers by Hunts and Hugaz sent the difference to +21 (64-85), with the quarter ending with score 87-66.
Despite the big lead, the bwin Doves were in no mood to let their foot off the gas and with a 10-0 run early in the fourth and final quarter, they pushed the lead to +31 for 97-66 at 34 ‘! The home side were never able to close the gap to 8 points at quarter time with the Pigeons celebrating a big and comfortable win with final 103-74!
The quarters: 25-24, 52-55, 66-87, 74-103.
