Olympiacos, taken from the golden pages of its history, won after Barcelona and Madrid, beating Real Madrid 89-87, made the score 3-0 and justified everyone who believes that they are currently the most formed team in the Euroleague ! In contrast, Panathinaikos were defeated 94–65 by Alba in Berlin on one of the worst nights in Europe and reduced their record to minus 1–2. In the second game of the “devil’s week”, the champions stay in Spain to face the Basque Country tomorrow (they beat Crvena Zvezda 92-75 in Vitoria yesterday, remain unbeaten with a score of 3-0), while the Greens return to OAKA against Monaco.
With the unstoppable Vezenkov in the lead, X-Factor Larentsakis and Sloukas decisive at the end with 4 upset points, Olympiacos once again proved to be the winner by not giving up as many times as Real Madrid found the rhythm and opened the gap. Approximately the same picture was in the last 3 periods, when where the “queen” seemed to run away, the Greek team always had ways to return with their series. In 3”, Slukash beat Tavares with a feint and recorded the final score. Real Madrid failed to score in the next attack. Quarters: 21-20, 38-37, 62-63, 87-89.
REAL (15/32 doubles, 14/32 triples, 15/17 shots, 35 rebounds (25+10), 23 assists, 2 interceptions, 3 blocks, 11 errors): Coser 3, Ambalde, Ezonia 5 (1), Rodriguez 3 (1), Deck 5 (1), Poirier 2, Corneli 11 (2), Tavares 14, Yule 14 (3/5 triples), Yabuchele 13 (3/4 doubles, 2/2 triples, 1/2 shot ), Muse 17 (4/6).
OLYMPIC (29/46 doubles, 6/21 triples, 13/18 shots, 43 rebounds (29+14), 18 assists, 7 steals, 2 blocks, 9 assists): Walks 9 (3/4 doubles, 1/1 trips ), Kanan 3 (1), Luntsis, Larentsakis 8 (1/1 under, 2/3 under, 2 interceptions.), Fal 6, Slukas 14 (5/8 under, 7 assists), Vezhenkov 23 (8/9 doubles, 2/7 triples, 12 rebounds), Boloboi 11, Peters 5, Black, McKissick 10 (4/5 doubles).
New rhapsody of the “red-whites” in Madrid (89-87) – Shameful performance of the “greens” against Alba (94-65).
-29 in Berlin was Panathinaikos’ fourth biggest defeat in Euroleague history, not justified by the still lackluster Alba’s excellent performance and their 3-0 unbeaten streak. The Greens collapsed in the second half when 0/12 from 20′ to 26′ gave the Germans the opportunity to finish the game 17-0. However, they are awaiting reinforcements as 2.03m Jake Layman has been cut by the Celtics and is close to a deal. Quarters: 17-9, 43-33, 64-45, 94-65.
ALBA (20/43 doubles, 13/27 triples, 15/17 shots, 43 (34+9) rebounds, 24 assists, 8 interceptions, 7 assists, 3 blocks): Prosida 6 (1), Makovsky 2, Dilov 5 (1) ), Wetzel 11 (1), Maticek 3 (1), Snyder 2, Olidi 7 (1), Kumanji 10 (5/6 doubles, 6 rebounds), Sikma 16 (2 triplets, 15 rebounds), 6 assists ), Lammers 7 (1), Blatt 15, Susman 10 (2).
PANATINAIKOS (12/39 doubles, 9/22 triples, 14/24 shots, 38 rebounds (28+10), 14 assists, 3 interceptions, 15 errors, 8 blocks): P.
