Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked AO Triton as it allowed them to take a leadership position. AO Triton defeated 13th ranked FEA Filadelfeia in Athens 83-68. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of FEA Filadelfeia. AO Triton made 21-of-26 free shots (80.8 percent) during the game. They outrebounded FEA Filadelfeia 52-34 including a 38-26 advantage in defensive rebounds. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when AO Triton made 7 blocks. 26 personal fouls committed by FEA Filadelfeia helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for guard Aristotelis Zaraidonis (198-1998) who led his team to a victory with 8 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Alexandros Proiskos (195-2000) contributed with 12 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. Lefteris Karalefteris (180-1998) replied with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists for FEA Filadelfeia. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Newly promoted FEA Filadelfeia keeps the thirteenth place with eight games lost. They share the position with Agriniou. FEA Filadelfeia will play next round against strong Panerythraikos trying to get back on the winning streak. AO Triton will try to continue on its current victory against second ranked Papagou. It will be extra interesting game as Papagou is their local rival from Athens.
Leading Panerythraikos (8-4) recorded its fourth loss in New Eritrea. Hosts were defeated by ninth ranked Eleftheroupoli (7-5) 84-77. Worth to mention a great performance of center Stavros Toutziarakis (210-1987) who helped to win the game recording 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists (went 10 for 10 at the free throw line !!!) and Dionysis Skoulidas who added 14 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. The best for the losing side was guard Ilias Moraitis (190-2001) with 17 points and 4 assists. Panerythraikos’ coach Dimitris Houhoulis rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn’t help. Eleftheroupoli moved-up to sixth place, which they share with 3 other teams. Panerythraikos at the other side dropped to the second position with four games lost. They share it with Iraklis and Papagou. Eleftheroupoli will play against higher ranked Megaridas (#5) in Megara in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Panerythraikos will play against FEA Filadelfeia and hopes to get back on the winning track.
An interesting game was also tough home defeat of 5th ranked Psychikou in a game in Athens versus Papagou (#7) 95-89. It was a key game for the second position in the league. The winners were led by Tyler Peterson who scored that evening 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Even 24 points and 6 assists by Ronaldo Segu did not help to save the game for Psychikou. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Papagou have a solid four-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place, which they share with Iraklis and Panerythraikos. Loser Psychikou dropped to the sixth position with five games lost. They share it with 3 other teams. Papagou’s supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Athens AO Triton.
There were no big surprises in other games of round 12: Maroussi was beaten by Agriniou on the road 72-70. Aias Evosmou destroyed Charilaos on its own court 91-56. Amyntas unfortunately lost to Koroivos in a road game 75-81. Bottom-ranked Kavalas managed to beat Iraklis at home 91-88.
