Comfortable friendly victory for PAOK. The “biceps” scanned Metalac 92-65 in the first match of the Belgrade Friendly Basketball Tournament and showed what Yuri Zdovc was expecting, in view of the match with Partizan on Friday.
In addition to the conclusions drawn by the Slovenian technician, he saw for both Jones and Koniaris for the first time.
The “blond dog” began the game with their five: Brown, Zara, Dimsa, Slaftsaki and Moore and saw the “black and white” control from the start, after 15-7 at 5΄ and 19-14 at the end of the first period.
The difference reached +10 in the second period for the 44-39 halftime starring Jones.
The difference was over +20 for the first time and Melvin made it +23. Metals reduced 65-49, but at the end of the thirty minutes, Brown’s three-point three made it 68-49.
