Promitheas Patra secured a narrow 94-93 victory over Korfez Basket in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. The one-point margin leaves the Greek side sitting third in the standings after six matches, with three wins and three defeats to their name. It was a result that extended their recent winning form, following a 92-82 triumph over Vena Basket just two days earlier on September 15th.
The home side started the calendar year with mixed fortunes, picking up wins against Iraklis Thessaloniki and Vena Basket while suffering heavier defeats to AC Karditsa, Panathinaikos and PAOK. Those losses, particularly the 63-96 and 70-100 results, had kept them from the top of the table. This latest victory, however, showed resilience in a match decided by the smallest of margins.
With only three points separating them from the leaders at this stage of the competition, every game carries weight. The rapid turnaround from their previous fixture suggests the squad is being pushed hard on both ends of the floor. Korfez fought back to within a single point, but Promitheas held firm when it mattered most.
The result keeps the Greek club in contention for a stronger position in the standings. Three wins from six outings puts them in a comfortable middle ground, though the gap at the top remains tight. They will look to build momentum from this result as the campaign progresses.
For Korfez, the defeat adds another loss to their record. The one-point margin means they were competitive throughout, but ultimately fell short in a match where every possession counted. Both sides now turn their attention to the next round of fixtures in the tournament.
