He lost, but Prometheus was not lost

With a very bad performance, Prometheus lost 84-98 to Cedevita-Olympia in Ljubljana in a postponed match of the ninth match of the Euro Cup and remained at 4-10 in 14 matches, but also at -1 from the privileged eight, maintaining his hopes of qualifying for the “16” in the last four matches of the second group, with the Slovenians reaching 7-7 in sixth place.

The Slovenians reached +12 at the end of the first period and +26 in the third period, having full control from the beginning to the end.

Top of the winners were Poulen with 22, August with 19 and Blazic with 14 points. For Patras, the leaders were Grant, Agravanis with 18 and Gaddy with 14 points.

Starring Dragic, Cedevita reached 6-2, but Prometheus’ right choices in the Slovenian racket then brought 6-6. Cedevita found the solutions from its experienced players and reached +4, while Blazic’s three-pointer brought it to 15-8. The players of Ilias Zouros with a 4-0 series reduced to 15-12, however, with August as the leader, the Slovenians reached 27-14, to complete the first ten minutes at 27-15.

Poulen kept the +10 at the beginning of the second period and he brought the +13 for the hosts. Cedevita’s peripheral shots helped her maintain a +9 to +12 during that time. Agravanis reduced to -7, but Poulen with a personal 5-0 series brought 42-30 and the many offensive solutions of Cedevita helped her maintain the +10 to +12. However, Gaddy “woke up” there and with a personal series of 7-0 brought 48-43 at the end of the half. The Slovenians had 13/22 two-pointers, 10/14 shots and Prometheus 19/23 shots.

Grant reduced to 48-45 at the start of the third period, but the poor defense of Ilias Zouros’s players brought a 17-0 for Cedevita, with Ferrell and Dragic doing what they want on the floor and reaching +20. Rogavopoulos was trying to attack Patras on his own, but Ferrell was on fire, with August supporting him aggressively and bringing +23 and +26 to the end of the thirty minutes.

At the beginning of the fourth period, the difference was between +21 and +23 for Cedevita. Prometheus managed to reduce twice to -19, but a 5-0 series of Cedevita brought 94-70. At 98-77, a 7-0 series of Prometheus, starring Grady and the entry of the young aces of Elias Zouros, limited the extent of the defeat.
