PAOK came away with a win in its first major preseason test, defeating Udine 89-71 in Italy and advancing to the final of the friendly tournament.
Andrea Trinchieri’s team took a little while to find its footing, but once it picked up the pace, it dictated the tempo and built a significant lead. At the same time, they once again displayed plenty of energy on defense, putting in a very solid overall performance.
