Bascol Division 4 At the stade, Aztec Financial (AZT) pulled away after the break to defeat Eur. Investment Bank B (EIBB) 56-32. The opening period was tight. AZT leaned on early baskets from GRIGORIADIS Leonidas (AZT) and a triple by FONTES Pedro (AZT) to edge ahead 11-8, with NTERELIS Christos (AZT) knocking down two free throws in a row after an unsportsmanlike foul (U2) on GUOBYS Mindaugas (EIBB).
EIBB answered in the second quarter with their best stretch: an 8-0 run turning 10-13 into 18-13. It started with KALANTZIS Fotios (EIBB), continued with back-to-back scores by SANCHEZ Antonio (EIBB), and finished by GUOBYS. EIBB led 18-17 at halftime.
The game flipped in the third. After SANCHEZ opened for 20-17, AZT exploded with a 23-3 tear to close the quarter 40-23. The sequence featured a three by NTERELIS, inside finishes from LEVENTIS GIANNAS Savvas (AZT), and two timely triples by FONTES, who kept scoring even after a technical foul (T1). EIBB's momentum stalled when SANCHEZ committed a personal and a personal (penalty) foul in quick succession (P then P2).
AZT controlled the fourth. FONTES scored on consecutive possessions, GRIGORIADIS added five in a row (2+3), and ALNSOUR Qais (AZT) hit from deep to seal the largest margin at +24. AZT finished with six made three-pointers; EIBB had none.
Top performers AZT: FONTES (23 pts; 6 two-pointers, 3 three-pointers, 2 free throws), GRIGORIADIS (13), LEVENTIS (8), NTERELIS (5). EIBB: SANCHEZ (11), KALANTZIS (8), TEIXEIRA BREGEIRO Eduardo (6).
