Dazan Moussa (15 points on 3/5 3-point shots) and Mario Hezonia (14 points on 4/6 3-point shots) did the most damage in Badalona’s defense on a night that Real Madrid two more players had double figures and shot 39% from three.

Ben McLemore was a high-profile summer signing for AEK Betsson, but the long-time NBA player left the union on December 12th.

Ten days later, Breogan announced the signing of the American goalscorer and McLemore continued his career in the Iberian Peninsula.

Dikefalos was his first team in Geria Epirus and after his release from the Yellow-Blacks he continues to play in Europe and in the Liga Endesa.

During his short stay in our country, he scored 9.7 points in the Stoiximan Basket League, while in Europe and the Basketball Champions League he averaged 9.2 points.

Mario Hezonia’s love affair with Panathinaikos AKTOR is well known and was shown for the umpteenth time a few days ago in the “green” game against Real in the OAKA. This fact, coupled with the Croatian’s freezing of negotiations with Madrid over a new contract, was enough to link his name to the ‘Cloverleaf’.

According to a publication by the Spanish website “encestando”, a large financial gap was identified in the first conversation that took place between Real and Hezonia, so everything is now open. At the same time, the same publication states that Panathinaikos AKTOR is a team interested in the Croatian if he is released, as both sides have worked together in the past.

Be that as it may, it is clear that if Hezonia’s deal with Real does not finally materialize, Panathinaikos AKTOR’s name will be linked to the Croatian again, as the love affair between the two sides is well known.
