Peristeri was able to break, he looks back to Dijon for the equalizer

Peristeri proved breakable in France but was defeated by Dijon (89-80) and needs to go 2/2 in the continuation of the play-in to qualify for the Basketball Champions League TOP-16.

Ready for a big fight, the bwin Pigeon traveled to France for the first game of the Basketball Champions League Play-In best-of-three series and he really delivered. In the end, however, it was Dijon who had the composure needed to claim victory (89-80) and take the first step towards qualifying for the TOP-16 of the tournament, which will be played in four groups of four.

Marcus Denmon was great in execution, with little effort, Miro Bilan scored with efficiency, Dimitris Agravanis followed but that was about it. Peristeri came up short on the perimeter shot and Marquis McDuffie’s Dijon and Holston, Ware, Hrovat deservedly got the result thanks to their creation and better percentage.

Despite not entering the match with the efficiency needed, Peristeri quickly found his balance. In the second half, he went 17-24, with Bilan doing a great job near the basket (12 points in 14:42 in the first half), covering his three-point error (4/14) and playing good outside defense. Spanoulis’ team capitalized on their opponents’ mistakes and scored nine of them, had six more than offensive rebounds and proved adept at breaking the streak.

The picture of the game did not change significantly at the beginning of the second half. Peristeri maintained the lead until the end of the third period when Dijon scored 58-57 with Hrovat and Ducote. A surprise nail from Agravanis early in the fourth quarter (64-62) was met with a three-pointer from McDuffie for a +5 for the home side, but once again Peristeri had the solutions. Agravanis put them ahead (73-74 at 34′) after which Dijon launched a 7-0 run that gave them a two-possession lead.

From there, Peristeri failed to find the defense it needed and Ware wrote 86-78 in the 39th minute, which finally decided the game.

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.”
