Even at team level for Mars…
*The 88 points is by far his best performance this year since the previous one was the 77 he scored in the away game against Apollon Carna.
*Set a double season record with two points. He had 27 on target – he had 21 in Patras – and executed with 69.23% (27/39) well above his previous best performance of 55.55% against Olympiakos (20/36).
The 27 accurate two-pointers, in addition to a record of the Thessaloniki team in the season, are also a tie for the third, this year’s highest performance in the Stoiximan Basket League.
*The “yellow and black” even executed with 69.23% from medium and close range, marking the fourth highest performance in two-pointers this year.
*The guests executed from close range and taking 54 points from the racket of the Colossus H Hotels, they not only scored their highest performance of the year – the previous one was that of 42 in the match against Apollon Carna – but also a new record this year in Stoiximan Basket League surpassing the 52 that AEK Betsson had in their game with Apollon Carna.
*The Thessaloniki team posted the second-highest scoring performance from offensive rebounds of the season. It had 21, two less than that of Colossus H Hotels a week earlier in Patras (23). In the past, he had not exceeded nine.
*The record for the five games of the “yellow and black” is the 16 assists since he had 12 each in the matches against Olympiakos and AEK Betsson.
*Through his dominance in the first half, he posted career highs of 26 points in the second and 24 points in the first period, a performance that carried over into the fourth. In his previous three games he had not exceeded 23 points in a quarter.
Somehow he also reached a record for points in a half, having 50 in the first. His previous highest performance was 44 in the second half of the match against AEK Betsson.
*Statistically, it was his best game since he had 96 in the ranking while against Apollo Carna he had 89.
*On an individual level, Lefteris Bohorides had “full” statistics with 11 points, six rebounds and seven assists. His rebounds also gave him achievements this season. With his four defenses, he became 12th on the relevant list of Aris Midea. He reached 281 and surpassed Antonis Asimakopoulos who had 279.
Bohorides, finishing the game with two offensive rebounds, “climbed” a place on this “yellow” list as well. She hit 104, becoming her 19th since surpassing JJ Anderson’s 102 in 1992-93.
