Aris celebrated its third away win in the EuroCup on Tuesday evening (December 19th) when it won the 12th game of the competition with 95:85 against Turk Telecom.

The yellow and black team improved to 5-7 and took a big step forward as they now have two wins in as many games against the Turkish team, which in turn fell to 3-9. The next opponent is Slask in Alexandrio, a game that Aris will have to endure to get even closer to the round of 16 of the EuroCup.

Vassilis Toliopoulos was once again Aris’ leader in both execution and creation, with Roberts Blumbergs showing how important he is to this year’s squad and Gallinat – Harrell following suit. Full performance from Jonathan Starc, who looks significantly higher quality and, above all, fitter than his predecessor Marcus Carr. The Thessalonians were efficient on the two points and made few mistakes, they used their fouls correctly and achieved the result.

Turk Telecom was badly misled from three-point range, except for Stephen Enoch in the first half and Tyrone Wallace (30 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, but also 5 turnovers) had no one else on a good night and is now find themselves in a difficult situation with regard to their future in the organization.
