It can Dove to have a birthday, closing 50 years of life, but the Olympic was the one who set up his own party on the floor of “Andreas Papandreou”, prevailing 93-67, continuing its unbeaten run in this year’s Stoiximan Basket League.
His players George Bartzokas played with the seriousness of Euroleague level and essentially “cleared” the outcome of the match from the first period, when they closed the ten minutes in 28-13. A great weapon of the “red and whites” was again their defense, through which they found easy solutions to the attack.
First scorer was Vezenkov (17p.) Who also dropped 10 rebounds, four of which were offensive, while Dorsey (13p.), Larentzakis (13p.), Martin (10p.) And Sloukas (10p.) Were also in double digits.
From the home side, Moraitis (13p., 4 / 7tr., 5r.) And Chad Brown (14p., 10r.) Were very good, while Petaway (11p.) Was in double figures.
The match
Peristeri may have been celebrating outside the stadium, but the party on the floor was set up by the Olympiacos players, who imposed their own από law from an early age, relying on their excellent defense and simple options in attack, but also extra attacks from offensive rebounds. Martin and Vezenkov found the corridors in the opponent’s basket and with the latter’s basket Olympiakos got a double-digit difference for the first time (4-15), while Sloukas entered the game που who with two consecutive three-pointers made it 7-23. Peristeri had its own reaction to the last shot of the season, with Saloustro’s three-pointer making it 13-28.
The pattern in the second period did not change, as aggressively Peristeri did not find solutions, since the defense of the guests was getting “excellent”, while whoever came in from the “red and whites” was in the mood to offer, with Makkisik and Printezis reaching the difference over 20 (16-37). With a new basket by Printezis, the difference reached 23 (18-41) and somewhere there came the relaxation of the guests, with Peristeriotes showing signs of life, closing the half at 26-44.
The third period was the one that judged the match once and for all, since it was divided into two parts. In the first, Peristeri was quite competitive, reducing up to 15 points (34-49), but then Olympiakos was stormy with Dorsey lunarizing from 6.75. With the American scoring in bursts and Vezenkov playing seriously… Euroleague, the “red and whites” judged the match, shooting the difference to 27 (34-61) and the period ending with 42-68.
The last period was of a procedural nature, with the coaches of the two teams trying different schemes, with the most interesting event being the match between Haggins and Larentzakis, with the Olympic guard pushing the American out of phase and being charged with unsportsmanlike foul. Eventually, the difference reached 30 (60-90) with a three-pointer by Jean-Charles, with the score closing at 67-93 with a three-pointer by Printezis.
The referees: Pitsilkas – Tsolakos – Karpanos.
The ten minutes: 13-28, 26-44, 42-68, 67-93.
