With speed acquired from its qualification to the F-4 of the Euroleague, Olympiacos passed like a siphon from Rhodes, winning 100-66 against Kolossos, in the last game of the two teams for the TOP-6. The “red and whites” made an important team effort and despite the fact that they essentially played with nine athletes (he was injured in the 15th minute and Petrusev left), they won easily. An excellent start was made by Kolossos, who took a 5-0 lead with Utomi and Kolovero (2′), with Olympiacos entering the floor numb… of Goudlock made it 14-9 (6.30′). The “red and whites” took the lead for the first time 14-15 with a three-pointer by Kanaan and from then on they were steadily in front (17-20 at 8′) and closed the first quarter with 19-23.
Giorgos Bartzokas’ team started very strongly in the second quarter, taking advantage of the fact that Kouros Segouras “shuffled the deck”. Olympiacos went on a 0-10 run and escaped 19-33 (13′), with Kolossos losing touch with the score. Papagiannis reduced to 22-33, but Lountzis responded (22-36). In the middle of the second quarter (4.36′ before the end), Petrusev was injured (probably with a sprain and left), with Olympiakos controlling the pace (29-43 at 17′), in a fairly free game, with no purpose. The “marines” got closer to 32-43 and 37-45 before the leader of the half Peters (14p) made it 37-48 with a three-pointer in the exhalation.
At the beginning of the second half, Olympiacos “cleaned up” the game early on… The “red and whites” went on a 0-8 and 3-14 run, making the score 40-62 (23′), essentially putting an early end to the game… Peters and Papanikolaou were full of appetite, Olympiacos had energy despite their fatigue and absences and the game progressed easily and without stress for the visitors. The gap opened even more for Olympiakos (44-72 at 27′), who closed the third quarter with +31 (48-79), making a great team effort in Rhodes.
The last… part of the match had a formal procedure, since everything had been decided. The image of the match did not change (50-82 and 55-87), with Olympiakos making it 64-92 (38′) and winning 66-100 with McKissick writing the “remarkable”.
