Magic Moment: Sanogo stops Biligha!
Ojeleye’s dunk opened the scoring but Woodbury netted twice and Toliopoulos struck from long-range to give Aris its first lead, 7-4. Ojeleye replied with a pair of triples, but Nathan Laszewski’s strong dunk tied it up, 10-10. Lopez-Arostegui also hit a three for Valencia, but Leftheris Bochoridis kept it close with a couple of inside scores and Roberts also scored at the rim to make it 16-15. D’Moi Hodge added a three-pointer before Valencia's free throws ended the first quarter tied up, 19-19.
Jaime Pradilla’s coast-to-coast layup started the second quarter scoring, but Toliopoulos replied with two transition buckets during a low-scoring phase of action. Lopez-Arogtegui forced another tie, 23-23, before Roberts made a tough layup and one and Ojeleye hit back with his third triple. Lopez-Arostegui scored twice and Josep Puerto hit a triple as Valencia enjoyed a 3-12 run for a 29-35 lead, but a layup by Toliopoulos pulled it back to 33-35 at the half.
Pradilla converted a delicious feed from Jean Montero early in the third, but Toliopoulos and Woodbury tied it up, 37-37. Nate Reuvers hit a jumper and Matt Costello scored at the rim, but free throws kept Aris close, 39-41, midway through the third. Nate Sestina, Toliopoulos and Brancou Badio all hit from deep, before Woodbury’s tough conversion at the rim and Reuvers’ tip-in made it 44-52 with ten minutes left.
Another putback from Reuvers made it a double-digit lead at the start of the fourth, before close-range scores from Roberts and Woodbury – with three buckets in a row – pulled Aris back, 52-54. Ojeleye’s free throws settled Valencia, but Woodbury hit from deep as both offenses otherwise misfired. It was 55-57 with two minutes left, and Toliopoulos briefly tied it up with a floater before Montero made a long two. Montero then added a layup, and Woodbury’s final score wasn’t enough.
