In a high-stakes Cypriot Basketball Division A clash, Enosis Neon Paralimni snatched a dramatic 86-85 road win against Dentacon Apoel Nicosia in a game decided in the final seconds. This narrow victory is significant for the visitors' hopes of securing a top-half finish in the league standings. The match was an offensive showcase with both teams trading leads throughout the fourth quarter. Apoel Nicosia seemed to have control after a three-pointer gave them a four-point lead with under two minutes to play, but Paralimni responded with a quick 5-0 run. The game was ultimately decided at the free-throw line, where a Paralimni player calmly sank two shots with just three seconds remaining after drawing a foul on a drive to the basket. Apoel's desperation heave from half-court fell short at the buzzer. The focus point was the controversial foul call that sent Paralimni to the line for the winning points, with the home crowd and bench expressing strong disagreement. The result impacts the playoff picture, lifting Paralimni while dealing a blow to Apoel's aspirations. The Paralimni coach called it a "character win," while the Apoel manager stated his team "deserved better from the officials." Both teams fielded strong starting fives, but Paralimni's composure under pressure proved decisive.
