As if that was not enough, AEK went down at lowly Larissa 76-75 on Saturday, allowing Lavrio to join Panathinaikos and AEK at the top of the table on 22 points, although Panathinaikos has a game in hand. Lavrio returned to winning ways defeating PAOK 84-77 at home.
Peristeri is on 21 points, thanks to its 86-70 home win over Ionikos Nikeas.
Messolonghi came off the bottom after its first win following nine straight losses, beating visiting Kolossos Rhodes 87-77.
