Sullivan Phillips scored 13 points and grabbed 4 rebounds as APOEL took a 2 – 0 Cyprus National Basketball Play-off lead over Etha with a 78 – 66 win.
Etha’s chances became more difficult when an early injury to team leading scorer Alex Wesby force him out of the game and maybe the series. First quarter saw APOEL hold a 5-point lead 23 - 18 while InterCollege Etha Engomis fought well in the next two quarters. They manage to keep in touch by half time 36 - 36 and were only two points behind 56 - 54 at the end of the third quarter. Last quarter saw APOEL run away with it scoring 22 points and only allowing 12.
