Olimpia’s road games winning streak was halted at five in Athens, 67-58. Olympiacos struggled to score for three quarter and Olimpia led for the majority of the game by as many as 12 points early in the second and by eight in the third. Olympiacos was able to stay close with its physicality, Olimpia’s turnovers. 17 at the end, and the ability to generate trips the line. At the end it was 36 free throw attempts versus 11. “That combined to the turnovers was a perfect recipe for a disaster. It was an ugly game, not nice to watch from both teams with the exception of Kostas Sloukas, Who was clearly the best player in the floor and in the fourth quarter won the game for Olympiacos,” Coach Ettore Messina said. Olympiacos was better in the fourth quarter when Olimpia’s defense had a couple of bad breaks and was no more able to overcome the offensive struggles of the night.
