Daryl Macon Jr. fired 28 points pushing AEK past PAOK, 102-89, Tuesday in Athens. The Queen went up 1-0 in Greece’s Basket League Playoffs Quarterfinals.
The 25-year-old American guard delivered convincingly following Keith Langford’s leg injury early in Game 1 of the best-of-three series. He made 9/11 field goals, including 2/2 from beyond the arc. However, his teammate will undergo an MRI and may miss the rest of the postseason.
