Kymi hoping for a miracle to stay in Basket League

Rethymno beat Peristeri on Crete and has virtually secured one more season in the Basket League, with just one round of games left, likely sending Kymi down despite the latter's home win over Lavrio. Olympiakos beat AEK away in a pair that will likely clash again in the play-offs.

Peristeri has upset Panathinaikos and Olympiakos in the last few weeks, but went down 83-73 at Rethymno on Saturday, as the Cretan Kings remarkably climbed to 11th and, barring a Kymi shock at Panathinaikos, will stay up.

Kymi still has some chances after downing Lavrio 89-88 in Halkida. It hopes that the last 31 seconds of the Lavrio vs Kolossos match, that will be replayed on Wednesday with Lavrio leading by two points, will end with a Kolossos win. Otherwise Kymi will need to beat Panathinaikos, that this weekend was not in action; its match at Holargos was postponed due to its Euroleague...
