For the first time, Kolossos had in its composition Andrew Goudlock who arrived in Rhodes with a “heavy” resume and rich performances from the highest European level. The American introduced himself to the Basket League having 22 points and 2/2 three-pointers. It was just the second 20+ point performance this year combined with a 100% shooting percentage, following AEK’s Ben McLemore’s 26 points on 5/5 3-point shooting against Apollo. Goudlock even reached 22 points without making a mistake. It was the 6th time this year that there was a 22+ point performance combined with a zero foul performance. At the top of that list is another Kolosso player, Luka Brajkovic who had 26 clean sheets against Lavrio and shares the lead with AEK’s McLemore since matchday 3. The American became the third Colossus player of the season to reach a 20+ point performance, following Brajkovic and Paul Jorgensen.
Even for the Rhodes team…
*Tyler Polley reached 100 rebounds in his 36th appearance in the Basketball League.
*Paul Jorgensen was 0-of-6 shooting and is one of five on the season to go zero field goals in at least six attempts. The Colossus guard had the most shots among those who missed a match (0/6).
On a team level…
*Colossus scored 26 of its 78 points from the foul line. It is the second highest performance of the season after the 27 shots that Aris had a week earlier in the match against AEK.
*The Rhodes team became the first in the season to record a single-digit number of assists, remaining at seven, which is of course a negative season record. Kolossos had the lowest performance last season as well, having only six assists in the home game against PAOK.
In a series of achievements that concern both this season, but overall in his recent past in the Basket League, Aris arrived with his victory over Kolossos. It stood out from the fact that it ended the streak of nine defeats that counted in total by the Rhodes team…
*After the premiere defeat by Olympiakos, Aris scored four consecutive victories. This is how he makes his best start in the last 8 years. His 4-1 record marks his first since 2015-16.
Then, with Dimitris Priftis on the bench, he had counted consecutively…
*At home defeat by Panathinaikos with 70-76.
*Away victory over Arkadikos with 90-50.
*At home victory over PAOK mateco with 84-72.
*Away victory over Lavrio 76-68.
*At home victory over Trikala with 84-79.
In his historic journey to the professional league, in his total of 32 seasons, Aris entered it twice with 5/5. In 1992-93 and 2014-15. By making it four straight, Aris posted its longest winning streak in the past six seasons. The last time they had four or more consecutive wins was in 2016-17 when they hit five in a row. Since November 26, 2016, he had won in a row…
* Doxa Lefkada away with 79-69.
*Kolossos at home with 84-60.
* Kymi at home with 85-72.
*Apollo out with 79-64.
*Lavrio at home with 98-77.
Even at team level for Mars
*The 88 points is by far his best performance this year since the previous one was the 77 he scored in the away game against Apollon.
*Set a double season record with two points. He had 27 on target – he had 21 in Patras – and executed with 69.23% (27/39) well above his previous best performance of 55.55% against Olympiakos (20/36).
The 27 accurate two-pointers, in addition to being a record for the Thessaloniki team in the season, are also a tie for the third, this year’s highest performance in the Basket League.
*The “yellow and black” even executed with 69.23% from medium and close range, marking the fourth highest performance in two-pointers this year.
*The visitors executed from close range and by getting 54 points from the racket of Kolossos, they not only scored their highest performance this year – the previous one was 42 in the match against Apollon – but also a new record this year in the Basket League by exceeding 52 that AEK had in their game against Apollon.
*The Thessaloniki team posted the second-highest scoring performance from offensive rebounds of the season. He had 21, two fewer than Kolossos a week earlier in Patras (23). In the past, he had not exceeded nine.
*The record for the five games of the “yellow and black” is the 16 assists since he had 12 each in the matches against Olympiakos and AEK.
*Through his dominance in the first half, he posted career highs of 26 points in the second and 24 points in the first period, a performance that carried over into the fourth. In his previous three games he had not exceeded 23 points in a quarter. Somehow he also reached a record for points in a half, having 50 in the first. His previous highest performance was that of 44 in the second half of the match against AEK.
*Statistically, it was his best game since he had 96 in the ranking while against Apollo he had 89.
*On an individual level, Lefteris Bohorides had “full” statistics with 11 points, six rebounds and seven assists. His rebounds also gave him achievements this season. With his four defenses, he became 12th on the relevant list of Mars. He reached 281 and surpassed Antonis Asimakopoulos who had 279. Bohorides, finishing the game with two offensive rebounds, “climbed” a place on this “yellow” list as well. She hit 104, becoming her 19th since surpassing JJ Anderson’s 102 in 1992-93.
