PAOK – Sassari 88-68: A dream performance and a huge win for Dikefalos

PAOK was fantastic, winning the second half 53-25 to defeat Sassari (88-68) in a Basketball Champions League Game 2 game.

Delightful, captivating, captivating. All of this was on Wednesday night (10/19) by PAOK who dismantled Sassari in the second half to knock it down for Game 2 of the Basketball Champions League (88-68). Aris Lykogianni’s side made it all possible after a disappointing second quarter as Jaylen Hunts and Jaylen Riley assisted Yannick Franke to a 1-1 draw in the group stage of the tournament.

Chinanu Onuaku and Ousmane Diop were the two standouts for Sassari, who was injured from her perimeter shoot, had a negative assist/foul ratio and had a good second quarter. For its part, PAOK is starting to get on its feet and, after the big win over Aris, is building its psychology in view of the even more difficult sequel in Greece and Europe.

The race

Facing Franke’s impressive performance (9 points, 1/2 deuce, 7/7 shots, 4 rebounds), PAOK came into the game with a lead and kept the lead but didn’t build up a good lead. Onuaku (7 points, 7 rebounds) was unstoppable but pretty much alone until the start of the second period where Sasari started a 0-7 run in just seconds to turn an 18-14 lead into an 18: 21-lead transform. The Italians found their feet, Ousmane Diop taking the baton from Onuaku and 30-39 in the 17th minute disappointed the Thessalonians who had 10 steals at halftime (35-43) but they also had 3/15 threes, 11 rebounds down and only six assists.

With a fast 16:2 at the beginning of the second half, PAOK turned the match upside down (51:45 at 24′), Franke and Reilly did things and wonders, it also went to +9 (59:50) and ended the third Third by a double-digit margin that gave him the look of favorite. Hunts with two consecutive 3-pointers made it 73-56 at 33′ and somewhere there Sasari accepted her fate.

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.”
