The Vikos Falcons were the only first to remain at the top of the 2nd group of the National League 1, after their victory over Aiolos Agiyas with a score of 71-55 and in combination with the defeat of Trikala Basket by Ethniki Livadias.
The team from Ioannina achieved its fifth straight victory, relying mainly on its defense, but also on its superiority under the basket, as it was slow to find points from perimeter shots.
Vikos showed his willingness to clear the game with good evening. It was already in double figures in the first quarter, with the visitors finding the first points after almost six minutes and scoring just four in the first period, all on free throws. Aiolos Agiyas’ side then leveled the game, with Kostas Delegou’s men, however, easily holding on to a solid lead, although they were deprived in the second half of the services of their leading scorer up to that point, Thodoris Tsiloulis, who stayed on bench to protect himself, as he was in trouble.
In the last period, the guests reacted and tried to get closer, but two accurate three-pointers by Anagnostakis and the exuberant presence of Tamas Ivosev, who stole, cut and scored, restored order and brought an easy victory for Vikos’ team, which looks different team from that in the first half of the league.
In the highlights of the match, a magical assist by Spyridonides and a magnificent cut by Ivosev, who showed his quality in several parts of the match. After all, he was also the leading scorer with 20 points. Tsiloulis, who, as mentioned above, did not compete in the second half was also in double figures. Niforas stood out for the guests with 13 points.
