A three-pointer with a plank from Mouratos set off Lavrio for a counterattack, which came into play and grabbed the necessary rebounds. With great three-pointers from Lountzis and superb efforts from Slouka and McKissick, Olympiakos gradually increased their lead to finish the first ten minutes at +5.

The Red-Whites were even in the lead by eight, but Lavrio wasn’t discouraged, he went ahead and made things difficult for Olympiakos. The Serelis players pressed and even led by four points (36-40), with the red-whites reducing from the free-throw line.
