The stormy AEK Betsson managed 5/5 with a performance against Sassari and qualified for the round of 16 of the BCL

AEK Betsson defeated Sassari 100-79 in a truly outstanding performance to secure a 5/5 win in the Basketball Champions League and qualify directly for the last 16 of the competition, one round before the end of the group stage.

Let’s say AEK Betsson. Juan Plata’s team played perhaps their best game this year, defeating Sassari 100-79. Somehow the Union achieved a 5/5 success in the Basketball Champions League, a record that mathematically ensures first place in the group and direct qualification for the round of 16 of the tournament.

The constantly scoring Mindaugas Kuzminskas was AEK Betsson’s top scorer with 21 points. Justin Tillman and Jordan McRae followed with 17 and 16 points, respectively, on a night when everyone except Manos Hatzidakis scored and the Queen had 33 assists and 15 steals.

29-20 points from opponents’ mistakes, 30-11 points from surprises, 11-14 points from second chances, 44-26 points from sticks, 40-12 points from substitutes.

The race

AEK Betsson entered the game hungry and imposed its tempo in defense and attack, taking a 13-point lead (31-18) in the quarter after scoring 10 points from Sassari’s 5 errors and another 9 points in transition .

The gap increased to 20 points (55-35) by halftime, with Union recording 18 assists to just 5 errors, but also 10 steals, a result of its excellent defensive performance. During that span, Kuzminskas had 14 points, Tillman 13 and McRae 10. The only threat, however, was Capelletti, who had 12 points on 4/4 3-point shots.

After the break, Bryn Tyree found his footing again and scored 13 points, but Juan Plata’s team continued to be unstoppable on offense and was +22 (81-59) after 30 minutes.

The home team continued running with broken brakes, broke the 100-point mark in the 36th minute and thus achieved a victory of true triumph.

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.”
