The most memorable game between Aris and PAOK was the third playoff game between the two teams in 1991. Aris had a 2-game lead, aftre winning the first two games of the series, but PAOK managed to even the score with 2 victories in the first 2 playoff games, so, naturally, they had the momentum going into the 5th game of the best-of-seven series. PAOK was up by 4 points, almost 10 seconds before the end of that 5th game. What followed left bad memories for many PAOK fans: Aris' Panagiotis Giannakis scored a quick 2-point basket, reducing the deficit to 2 points. A sloppy in-bounds pass from PAOK was then stolen by Aris' Dinos Angelidis, who then passed the ball to Nikos Galis, who (while being guarded by a frenzied John Korfas) started to penetrate, but then Galis passed the ball to Giannakis, who promptly drilled a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Aris went on to win the next playoff game, and thus win the 1991 Greek League championship.
