Withstood her counterattack Rasta Fechta and he did… save in this year’s BCL o Prometheus!
Although they saw the German team come back from the -17 with which they found themselves losing in the first half, the Patrinians found the solutions and finally celebrated the marginal victory with 88-86 thanks to a basket by Ivudu just before the finale, improving their record to 1-1 and effectively “erasing” the home defeat of the premiership against Nieburg.
Leaders for the winners, who will host Galatasaray (23/10) in the next matchday of the tournament, were Williams (21p with ? three-pointers), Ibudu (16p, 5 rib), Luntzis (14 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) and Walker (13 points, 6 assists), while Aminou and Gardner stood out for the hosts, who each scored 16 points.
The match:
Prometheus entered the match very strongly and got into the driver’s seat early, with Perry and Varnado giving it an 11-8 lead, while with Williams finding a rhythm early on, the Patrinos made a double-digit difference (24-14) , before Lountzis made it 29-16 in the first quarter.
The Greek guard had a very good night and the difference jumped to +17 (16-33) at 11′, with Fechta reacting by dramatically improving her defensive function and managing to reduce the difference to single digits after an hour (28 -37). Shortly after, the home team got as close as 40-47, before Williams and Grunloch made it 41-50 at halftime.
Improved in the third quarter, Fechta, with its protagonists Gardner and Aminou, came close to “shooting distance” (52-56) in the 23rd minute, while Williams turned up the pace again, continuously giving Prometheus aggressive solutions, increasing the difference again (62-71 ), while the hosts were down 71-74 at the end of the third period.
With Garner in front, Fechta managed to reach the tie (78-78) in the 33rd minute, even taking the lead with Gardner’s three-pointer, with the game becoming a derby shortly before the final. In the “final stretch”, Walker put Prometheus at +3 (83-86), but Campbell equalized with a big three-pointer, before Ivudu made a difficult basket to make the final 86-88!
