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 Euroleague match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Paris, which was planned to be played on Friday, January 9 at 20:00, will be postponed again.
The Reds had previously made an official request to the Euroleague management regarding this issue, and it is expected to be announced in the coming days.
The match will probably not be played on Friday evening and will be played around the February break for the national teams.
Hapoel management is unhappy with the behavior of the French club and its owner David Kahn. They claim that Paris refused to fly a connecting flight to Israel.
According to Euroleague rules, in double-header weeks, each team must reach the match arena by direct flight or travel no more than one and a half hours. However, the French refuse to attend the match on the grounds that it is against the regulations, as they will be playing in Türkiye, where there has been no direct flight to Israel since October 7.
Hapoel Tel Aviv also said that Paris refused to fly via Cyprus, which would ultimately lead to the postponement of the game.
In the statement made by the club, “Paris owner David Kahn insists on a direct flight to Israel, which is not possible from Türkiye. He is doing everything possible to avoid coming to Israel.”
Previously, there was news that there was a flu epidemic in one of Europe’s leading clubs.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
