Chalon managed to prevail over PAOK at home 75-61. It wasn’t easy for the hosts as they were trailing at the halftime 41-36. Prep talk by coach Jean-Denys Choulet in the halftime break really motivated home players as they played much better in the second half on both sides of the court.
The Greeks just couldn’t find a way to the basket in the second half as they were limited to just 20 points.
The Key: Third quarter was the turning point of the match as Chalon outscored PAOK in that period 24-8.
The Star: Darin Dorsey with a little magic for Chalon as he had a double-double game with 12 points and 11 assists.
Ousman Krubally had 15 points for the losing side, but that went to waste.
With this victory, Chalon jumped to a 2-2 score as PAOK fell to a 1-3.
