Here to compete you got to be consistent the whole game,&#8221; he said. Olympiacos, looking for a win to secure first place at the regular season end, prevailed 85-76. The Greek team attempted to get away several times in the first half but Olimpia for a while kept coming back. Olympiacos led by ten early in the game and Shavon Shields led the first comeback; after Cory Joseph with a personal 5-0 run restored a seven point lead early in the second Olimpia responded once again (Nico Mannion and Armoni Brooks helped the team during that stretch) and at the half Milan was trailing by two points. In the third, Olympiacos extended the lead again and Olimpia had to give up. In the fourth quarter, however, came back from 20 points behind to eight and forced Coach Bartzokas to use a time-out and recommend to play through the end. The same was true for Olimpia. Shavon Shields finished on a high note with 24 points and five threes. Armoni Brooks closed the night with 13 points incuding three threes so he became one of two payers (the other being Tyler Dorsey) to finish the season with more than 100 made three-pointers. He and Ricci finished with 38 games played in the EuroLeague, all the scheduled ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55212166345_2f0441cf86_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Armoni Brooks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olimpia played a serious game, although irrelevant, in Piraeus, as Coach Peppe Poeta remarked at the end. &#8220;I&#8217;m quite happy they way we competed, with the exception of some minutes in the third quarter when we stopped the ball a little bit too much, we were a little selfish.
