Promitheas defense showed up once again

Promitheas Patras picked up an important win against Buducnost VOLI Podgorica, an 81-72 triumph that edged it closer to the playoffs. Promitheas knocked down 11 triples on 44% three-point shooting and was efficient inside with 58.1% accuracy. However, it was the home team's defense that made the difference.
"We had good offense from defense", Promitheas Patras head coach Ioannis Christopoulos stated after the game.
The hosts forced 16 turnovers and held Buducnost to just 40.9% two-point shooting. The visitors did grab a massive 17 rebounds, compared to just 5 from Promitheas, but that did not make a difference in this contest.
It all resulted in Promitheas holding the opposition to 72 or fewer points for the third time in the last five games, all victories.
