Beaten at home on Gameday 1 by Nanterre 92, there was no repeat performance by Ronen Ginzburg's side.
After a tight first half, the hosts outscored Aris 25-13 in the third period and then stormed to a convincing win with Kendrick Ray's 18 points and 3 steals leading the way.
The home side boosted their chances with some scintillating shooting from long range. Ginzburg's squad finished 10 of 22 from 3-point range with Quincy Diggs an impressive 5 of 6. Diggs had a team-high 19 points in the victory.
Aris, who won their first game at home against Stelmet Zielona Gora, dropped to 1-1. Kwame Vaughn had 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in defeat.
