Hapoel Holon – Peristeri 82-87: High-flying win for three quarters

Peristeri played nice basketball with pluralism in attack and celebrated a fair 87-82 win over Hapoel Holon to take third place in the Neofytos Handriotis tournament in Cyprus.

Very positive sample! Peristeri excelled during most of the match against Hapoel Holon at the Neophytos Handriotis tournament in Cyprus and in the final they celebrated a great win – albeit a friendly – with a score of 87-82 against champions Israel.

Polyphony in attack, balance and good options in attack are the keys to victory for Vassilis Spanoulis’ team, who had Kaselakis (21 points) and Francisco (20 points) in an excellent night.

The match

Peristeri showed his teeth in the game against Red Star, where he lost by a point, and against Hapoel Holon made sure his appearance in his first game in Neofytos Handriotis was no fluke. They took an early lead with Poulianitis and Kaselakis scoring three threes in the first few minutes while ending the quarter with a double-digit difference (16-26) and having a very good image at both ends of the court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the gap increased to 13 points (16-29), then the Israelis strengthened their defense and managed to close the gap, but Vassilis Spanoulis’ team never lost control. With correct and cool decisions in attack and Francisco, Poulianitis and Kaselakis at the helm, he finished the first part with +6 (40-46) and had 9 assists and only 1 error during this time.

Vassilis Spanoulis’ team had the same and even better image in the third quarter, with the Peristerians having excellent partnerships, moving the ball well and “bombing” from the perimeter. Kaselakis fired from outside the three-point line and scored 20 points, while Moraitis even increased the difference to +17 in the 27th minute, with the Greek team in the final at +11 with triple the number of assists compared to fouls (15 -5).

At the beginning of the last quarter, the Israelis used zone defenses and made it difficult for Peristeri to close the gap to a point just before the final, but the Greek team persevered. With an important 3 from Denmon and a late-stage defense that tightened, she kept the +4 and celebrated a 100% deserved win judging by her overall in-game picture.

THE DECADES: 16-26, 40-46, 63-74, 82-87.

DOVE (Spanoulis): Bilan 11 (7 rebounds), Radanov 4, Poulianitis 9 (3/6 threes), Denmon 6 (2/6 threes), Kaselakis 21 (4/5 twos, 3/7 threes). -Pointer, 4/5 shots, 5 rebounds), Juston 2, Francisco 20 (2/3 doubles, 4/7 trebles, 4/4 shots), Fitros, Moraitis 10 (1/5 trebles) , Giuzelis 2, Zugris, Stavrakopoulos 2.

Peristeri’s team stats: 16/30 2-pointers, 14/36 3-pointers, 13/16 shots, 34 rebounds (22 defense + 12 offense), 18 assists, 10 turnovers, 5 steals, 2 blocks.

In the past, Fraser of Prometheus asked to leave for personal reasons

A blow for Prometheus, because before two weeks had passed since the agreement with Tim Fraser, he had to terminate the contract of the American, who wanted to leave due to a family problem.

Tim Frazier’s second stint in the Stoiximan Basket League was short-lived after Prometheus announced the termination of his contract just 12 days after his acquisition.

As Patrini revealed, the American asked to leave for personal reasons, with Prometheus respecting his wishes.

Frazier managed to play in just one game with the Patriots – in the 68-71 loss to Dijon in the Basketball Champions League, where he had 8 points and 4 assists – with the only positive for Prometheus being no foreigner Stoiximan Basket League was substituted in the Basketball Champions League because he had not included him in his Greek squad.

The announcement in detail:

“KAE Prometheus Patras announces the amicable solution to its collaboration with Tim Frazier, respecting the exceptional family problem that has arisen for the American athlete. We thank him for his offer and wish him all the best for his career.”
