Despite the absence of tall men and everyone who competed gave their best, they put in too much effort and helped the “red and whites” get the victory with 77-62. PAOK was bad and did not take advantage of the home team’s problems in the slightest. Piraeus now turn their attention to the game against Alba (30/01 – 21:15) in which they will have Moses Wright, but also probably Larentzakis, Goss and Petrusef.

Olympiacos started with Tanoulis in his original formation with the young center helping a lot in the first minutes of the game (6-5, 5′). Despite the difference in size on the floor with the Thessalonians, the Piraeus team defended, but the PAOK players constantly renewed their attacks and took the lead 6-12 (8′). With the tall duo of Peters and Papanikolaou, the first quarter ended with the guests in front of the score (12-14).

PAOK only found solutions by renewing possessions (14-19, 12′), but with his entry, Luntzis exerted an influence on the pace of the game and thus with his own three-pointer, steal and assist for Peters’ three-pointer, Olympiacos took the lead with 26 -19 (16′). The Piraeus with the small ball had managed to find a rhythm and with Kanaan they climbed to the limit of the double-digit point difference (29-19, 17′). Before the teams went to the locker room, PAOK found well-placed three-pointers from Gilmore and Margaritis, Olympiacos responded with 2/2 from Peters and at the halfway mark the score read 42-29.

PAOK tried in the second half to put the ball on McNeese with the American scoring on consecutive attempts to reduce the score to 47-39 (25′). The time-out of Bartzokas and the change of Papanikolaou with Tanoulis brought calmness and a little better functioning to the attack. Walkup created accurate three-pointers to Kanaan and Brazdeikis resulting in +21 (62-41, 30′).
The game had become procedural in the final period. Bartzokas, with so few players on the bench, could not afford to give … breathers to some. It was reasonable for fatigue to affect the home team’s performance, but the visitors could not put pressure on them either (they dropped to 13 points). The final horn found Olympiakos reaching victory with 77-62, but having consumed enough energy.
