Then, Boloboi and Peters again sent Olympiacos to +13 (30-17), which it maintained (35-22), until 15′.

In the following minutes, the difference remained at the same levels, with a three-pointer by Luntzis sending the hosts to the locker room with +12 (42-30).

The answer of Piraeus came from Peters, who initially with his own 6-0 sent them to +11 (74-63) and then to +12 (77-65), in the 36th minute. From that point on, Barzokas players were in control, escaping to +16 (87-71) and taking the victory with the final 89-77.
