Aris 63-65: Victory in Podgorica in the fourth super period

Aris celebrated its third win in six European Cup matches for the 2023/24 season on Wednesday evening (11/8), with a 65-63 victory over Buducnost at the Moraca Arena in Podgorica.

Thessaloniki led 3-3 (1-2 at home and 2-1 away), and won 14-7 in the fourth period. A 12-0 run made the scores 60-51, 60-63 and eventually a McKinley Wright save decided the game. Bankston (14 points, 7/7 2-pointers), Gallinat (15 points, 4 rebounds) and Sanogo (11 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists) played for everyone. To the unprepared Toliopoulos team, to the misguided Kar, and to Bohorides, who crossed the goal line with a score of 63-64 and gave the ball to the home team.

Buducnost fell to 2-4, and was the favorite in the match, but in the end he made all the mistakes and ended his 40 minutes with 2/13 three-pointers and 13 assists, compared to 17 fouls. Former Monaco player Yoan Macudou scored 20 points in 36 minutes, but since then no one has supported him except for Jacori Williams, who has not impressed at all.

Aris expected that there would be about 100 of his followers at his side, but the Montenegrin police did not give the green light and the Greek police did not allow them to leave Thessaloniki.
