Heraklion – PAOK 74-84: Dikefalos scored in the second half and won the derby
PAOK is superior, winning the derby with Iraklis (84-74) and moving up to 50% in the Stoiximan Basket League. Episodic game, half-time delay, crowded fans and… Dog Show in Ivanofio.
The Thessaloniki derby was episodic. The Ivanofeio was full, the referees didn’t want to start the second half until the extras left, the people from PAOK opened a dialogue with the podium to explain that they had no problem with the atmosphere, they even saw a dog shower in the 30′ and finally the winners exited Game 16 of the Stoiximan Basket League with a score of 84-74.
The 7-7 lead was Dikefalos (4-3 h, 3-4 a) with Marvin Jones making a great showing, Phil Green scoring great shots, and Toliopoulos, Jankovic, Mantzari and Rivers following. At 3-11 was Giraios (2-5 home and 1-6 away) who struggled but didn’t have the tenacity, consistency or depth on the bench to eke out the win.
The race
Since Roten did a great job in the creative part at the beginning of the game, Iraklis was in control, he also took the lead with seven points (19-12 in 8′), but Lov with six consecutive points carried PAOK and reduced to point at the end of the season (19-18). As the sixth player, the American created a chance to score, and at the beginning of the second ten minutes he shot at his team’s overtaking maneuver (20:19).
Toliopoulos, Jones and Jankovic played good basketball for 25-28 in 14 minutes and for 28-32 in 15 minutes, with the former having a great showing in scoring and creation. The PAOK defense worked great in the second period, Mantzaris hit from the line of fire at 32:39 of halftime, the hosts had thrown six shots in the trash, they had a point in the surprise and at the same time the guests could count on Marvin T. made the difference with 13 points.
Finally, after a half-hour delay, the second part began as the large crowd of fans left Ivanofio. Iraklis scored 13 points in three minutes to get ahead (45-44), putting PAOK in a difficult situation but not really scary. Phil Green hit a great three for 51-56, another for 54-59, Rivers and Lee kept the visitors at safe distance, the former firing for 58-70 in 34′ and somewhere there the game was judged.
Toliopoulos was in a great night, enjoying the game, scoring more shots for 64-77 and PAOK exiting Ivanofeio triumphantly in a night that lasted longer than it should but offered a good clash.

The NBA sent a memo to league teams proposing stricter rules on injury reporting and betting because of federal charges in gambling cases involving current and former league officials. The purpose of the changes is to reduce the value of insider information and prevent manipulation of results.
The league is considering measures to prevent intentional losing, more frequent updating of injury reports and restrictions on betting on individual match events. Specifically, teams will be required to submit injury reports updated every 15 minutes on match day. It is also planned to expand gambling-related education programs, strengthen the protection of players and staff against pressure from bookmakers and improve the monitoring of suspicious activities.
In addition, the league plans to introduce discounts and restrictions on betting on individual player statistics, highlighting the need for greater control over the types of bets offered by bookmakers.
