Iberostar Tenerife are already in the Basketball Champions League quarter-finals, after starting off with 43-8 in the first 23 minutes. 7-8 turned into 50-16.
The first quarter finished 15-10. But, according to Vidorreta, the Canarians had a stroke of luck with Clanton's injury and were able to lead by 21 points by the break. PAOK only scored two baskets in the second quarter, two three-pointers.
The manager believed they maintained the balance, with both teams obtaining very high average points. The opposite to what occurred in Salonika, when the team didn't stay together.
With all the hype around Iberostar Tenerife, the draw will take place tomorrow in Munich. According to Vidorreta, no matter what team they will be up against, it will sure to be tough, because ¿they all are candidates for the Final Four¿. If they pass the next qualifying round and classify for the Final Four, Iberostar Tenerife will be able to present themselves as a candidate to organise it.
Following their comeback, the team cannot let themselves slip. Because, according to the coach, if they let their guard down they will pay for it big time. After their classification, taking a beating, the Canarians are already preparing for their visit to Movistar Estudiantes this Sunday, with the aim of maintaining a clear lead in the Endesa League. Another goal in a season of challenges.
