Having exhausted his energy reserves in the last 15 minutes of the match and paid for the overconfidence of victory, Olympiacos “injured” the buzzer (77-75) at the home of Villeurbanne, losing his own game, thus, he could not perfectly complete the match of the “devil’s week” of the Euroleague after his crushing victory over Fenerbahce.

The Piraeus fell to 9-5, while the French, who scored a third victory in a row, rose to 6-8. Picking up speed on Tuesday, the Red-Whites started the match with impressive numbers, having the lead in the match of Vezenkov (11 points in 11 minutes), Fall (10 points), Kanan (9 points), superiority in rebounding (17 vs. 7), accuracy (12/17 two-pointers, 6/13 three-pointers, 5/6 shots, 12 assists) and just six assists closed the half at +16 (31-47), reaching +21 at 25′ (33-54).

The series “Villeurbanne” with a score of 11:0 in the middle of the third quarter reduced the gap to 10 (44:54) and gave a signal to the players of Barzoka to enter the final period.
