Nestle - Anemos 89-56

A good game for Anemos for 30 minutes (with the score at 60-51) ended in a bad loss with 89-56 from a better team. Anemos simply did not have enough players to compete with the taller Nestle team when the fouls and the fatigue kicked in.

Francesco lead in scoring with 14 points and Vassilis made a very promising debut with 7 points and a good presence in the front-line. In the same game Stelu made her first appearance as well helping a lot the backcourt to create better situations in offense with her passing and shooting.

A good game for Anemos against DEL Basket from Denges - the strongest team of the league - ended with a defeat with 81-61. While DEL Basket is clearly a better team, Anemos fought using defense as the main weapon, which was indeed very successful for parts of the game.

In the second quarter Anemos starting pressing a lot in the defense with a very strong 3-2 zone (with Pantelis covering a lot of space with a lot of running) while in the offense, Francesco and Vaggelis were in a good day and managed to score a lot of points despite the very aggressive defense of DEL. The quarter ended with partial score 11-15, with Anemos behind 12 points in the HT mark. The beginning of the third quarter was also slow and this was the key for the defeat. DEL started strong but the referees did 3 consecutive easy mistakes favoring DEL which eventually increased the margin up to 27 points (63-36).
