In the crowded "Palataki" the ENP of Zakis Papadopoulos continued its frantic course this year after prevailing over AEL with 86-73, scored its 4th victory in an equal number of matches and continues to enjoy the undefeated living at the top of the standings with Petrolina AEK.
The Paralimnites had the 3 foreigners on a good night (Aqua, Berget and Dixon) but they also needed the great appearance of Simos Solomos who scored 19 points and dropped 6 rebounds to get a very important pink card.
The most decisive points of the match were of course the end of the 2nd quarter (until the beginning of the 3rd) where the maroons were back in the score with 14 points (24-38) but with a series of 20-0 (!) They went ahead with +6 (44-38 ) but also the impressive fourth quarter where they scored 33 points (while they conceded just 18) to reach 4 in 4.
Averti's amazing performance that scored 29 points went awry for the team of Assonitis, with the blue and yellows of Limassol being 'hurt' by an element that distinguishes their game this year and is none other than the peripheral shot. The guests, despite the fact that they were in the match until the end (77-73 with 54 'seconds for the end) shot just 4/27 three-pointers and fatally succumbed to Paralimni.
