A new era at Aris got off to the most impressive start!
On Tuesday night (September 29) Vassilis Spanoulis’s team celebrated a big road win in their EuroCup opener, with the Thessaloniki squad defeating Le Mans 87-74 at the “Antares Arena,” in the club’s first official game!
After a poor and nervous first quarter, Aris then shifted into high gear and, thanks to its excellent defense, as well as their dominance on the boards, managed to post a 72-48 run over the final three quarters and secure the victory.
