Vikos Falcons reached seven consecutive victories with their 92-68 victory over Near East, showing that with the additions and Kostas Delegos on their bench, they are now on a different level from the rest of the National League 2 teams.
The team from Ioannina showed from the beginning that they had wild moods and with Ivosev in front, they took a double-digit difference from the very first period. The difference continued to rise and reached up to +21 in the second period, with K. Delegko’s team generating energy and offering beautiful phases.
In the third quarter the visitors tried to claw their way back into the game, cutting the gap to nine points, but Vikos had the answers and rebuilt a margin of safety, eventually picking up their tenth home win and avenging their heavy first round defeat.
Ivosev, who was literally unstoppable, unfolded more and more aspects of his potential game by game. In total, he scored 28 points with four three-pointers, while he charged the visiting players with several fouls. Tsiloulis, who did not compete in the last game due to discomfort, returned second, scoring 17 points, while Mavroyiannis with 13 and Patras with 12 were also in double figures. From Near East, Karahalios stood out with 18 and Koupidis with 13.
