Epic turnaround from -20 and AEK’s triumph over Limoges

After 12 minutes, they lost by 20 points, but in the final, AEK defeated Limoges (82-72) and made it into the TOP-16 of the Basketball Champions League with a score of 2:1.

Playing Game 3 in the Basketball Champions League TOP-16 group was another tough challenge for AEK, who lost by 20 (17-37 at 12′) but an epic effort and turnaround for the 82-72 , giving her a qualifying advantage in the round of 16 of the competition.

The yellow and black team took a 2-1 lead with Akil Mitchell and Isaiah Miles having a fantastic evening followed by Janis Strelnieks and Kenny Williams. Ilias Kantzouris’ team wasn’t great in the three-hand but had an impressive percentage in the two-hand and an amazing creation to make a really big result.

Limoges fell to 1-2, made 9/12 three-pointers for +20 early in the second but gradually lost his energy and resolve. Javon Graves has been the best and most consistent player for Massimo Cancellieri’s side, who not only lost ‘their’ match, but lost by a margin that could play a role as both teams meet again in a month’s time for Round 4 of the TOP – 16

With the French having 5/8 two-pointers and 5/7 three-pointers, AEK fell behind early and with 11 at the end of the first period (14-25). She also fell to -20 (17-37) early in Part Two, but responded with an impressive 18-5 to reduce to seven by the end of Part One and keep the claim to the win alive.

The picture of the game did not change in the third period either, AEK continued to chase the French, but could not reach them and take the lead. He managed to write in the 35th minute with a nail from Mitchell and a technical shot on the Limoges bench (69-68), with a personal 18-3 to 77-68 that could not be turned over and not knocked over became a visitor.

THE REFEREES: Castillo, Calatrava, Aungrogers

THE DECADES: 14-25, 35-42, 59-65, 82-72

The next games of the two teams: AEK and Limoges play again on Tuesday 7 March 2023, this time at the Palais Beaublanc.

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.”
