“Olympiakos” reminded of the games in which its players make serious efforts to complicate their lives, but still achieved their 7th consecutive victory in the EuroLeague of Basketball.
The Greek team recorded its 16th success of the season in the most prestigious club tournament on the continent after 96:86 as a guest of one of its biggest irritants – “Real” (Madrid). The competitors of head coach Georgios Bartsokas led with 20 points, but in the last half they allowed the “Whites” to reduce the gap to 8 and the big stars had to be brought back into the game.
Great night for Evan Fournier. The Frenchman shot like a machine and finished with 28 points. Alexander Vezenkov’s performance was relatively quiet by his own standards. The most expensive player in the Euroleague scored only 13 points, to which he also added 9 rebounds.
In the next round on January 24, “Olympiakos” hosts “Fenerbahçe” in a Balkan derby between the first and second in the ranking.
