THE RACE

Olympiacos started the game strongly. He leaned on his defense, kept the bwin dove low and ran into the open field, where he escaped with 3:16 to play thanks to a 13-0 run. But Vassilis Spanoulis’ team got a reaction somewhere.

However, the simultaneous presence of Vassilis A three-pointer from Larentzakis increased the difference to 7 points (20-27) at the end of the first period.

The start of the second third was completely different. The departure of Papanikolaou for a breather – and with Walkap and Milutinov already on the bench – unsettled Olympiacos a little. Peristeri bwin took advantage of this and made things difficult for the “Red and Whites” by putting pressure on the ball, so that they took the lead 30:29 thanks to a 7-0 run.

The return of Walkap and Milutinov to the floor changed things for Olympiacos. The visitors generally had better performance on both ends of the court and went on a 12-0 run, coming away with a 30-41 lead and ultimately closing the first half with a 36-46 lead.

These two three-pointers seemed to change the psychology of the game, with the “Red and Whites” then maintaining a lead of almost 10 points and closing the third period with a score of 50-63.

The game should be decided at the beginning of the fourth third. Olympiacos continued at the same pace, with Milutinov setting the pace and the rest following. In the 35th minute the difference was 20 points (55-75) and since then everything was decided, Olympiacos won a fair victory.
