Aris made good impression against Ilisiakos, which they beat 76-104 in Athens, at a five-period friendly game held for preparation purposes. Jeremy Richardson scored 21 for the “yellows”, who missed captain Nikos Chatzivrettas at the warm-up due to a minor injury on the right calf and will not have him back until next week.
