Nikos Papanikolopoulos' team rose to 3-10 (3-1 at home and 0-9 on the road), taking an important step in their attempt to stay for another year in the top division of Greek basketball.

Prometheus fell to 8-5 (6-1 home, 2-4 away), and Ilias Papatheodorou couldn't believe his team's worst performance of the year. Hunter Hill was the only player who played with tenacity, as the Patriots were aware that a loss could play a major role in their bid for a third- and fourth-place finish in the regular season.
