Keravnos Strovolos claimed a hard‑fought 75–68 road win over AEK Larnaca in a Cypriot Division A clash that had playoff implications for both sides. The visitors used a stifling zone defense in the second half to limit AEK’s scoring and pull away down the stretch.

Game Flow

AEK Larnaca started strong, taking a 22‑18 lead after the first quarter behind sharp outside shooting. But Keravnos adjusted defensively, switching to a 2‑3 zone that clogged the paint and forced AEK into contested jumpers. The turning point came late in the third quarter when Keravnos unleashed a 12‑0 run to take a 58‑50 lead.

Stars of the Night

• Keravnos Strovolos: Their veteran guard controlled the tempo, finishing with 18 points and 8 assists, while a young forward added a double‑double of 14 points and 11 rebounds.
• AEK Larnaca: The home team’s top scorer managed 21 points but shot only 7‑of‑19 from the floor, struggling against Keravnos’s defensive schemes.

Key Stat
