With 82-75, Apollon was defeated in Lavrio by the team of the same name in the context of the 21st and penultimate game of the Basket League and now its hopes for staying have become mathematical.
He kept the gap following winning in Patras by 11 points in the first round (71-60), but now he can only chase Karditsa.
But in any case we repeat his hopes have now become mathematical…
THE GAME Apollo led 5-0 at 2.00 and 8-2 at 3.00, trailed 23-16 at 9.00 and 30-26 at 16.00. At 29.00 he led 58-57, but at 34.00 he found himself behind 73-62. It was reduced to 72-68 with a three-pointer by Perkins and he had a chance to reduce the shot but Osborne with bad conditions in the next phase might not attack…
