The disappointing Olympiakos surrendered to the appetites of Maccabi!

After a bad night in Istanbul, the Olympic suffered its second consecutive painful defeat in the Euroleague, after the Maccabof Giannis Sfeiropoulos had no problem taking advantage of his disappointing image in the second half and celebrating in front of her audience (84-69).

Fantastic game for the Israelis Zizic with 23 points, 16 in the first half, while Wilbekin (13p.) and Evans (14p.) also helped the hosts, while the only double digits for the Greek team were Printezis (13p.) And Dorsey (12p.).

Following this result, the “red and whites” are tied for third to sixth place with Unix, CSKA Moscow and Zenit, after falling to 12-7, while on the other hand Maccabi went up to 8-11 and kept her hopes for the playoffs alive.

The match



Olympiacos started their game somewhat sluggishly, with their problems in the attack helping Maccabi reach the +6 (8-2). Papanikolaou fought alone and kept Piraeus close (10-7), with Vezenkov’s three-pointer and Dorsey lay-up equalizing in 14-14. Martin scored in dead time, the referees correctly canceled the basket and the Israelis made it 19-16.

In the second ten minutes, Printezis’s three-pointer gave the “red and whites” the lead for the first time with McKissick to press the… turbo and give “air” +5 (23-28). Nevertheless, the team of George Bartzokas did not seem to be able to restrict him Zizic with 16 points in the first half (!), he “bumped” him again and sent all of Sfeiropoulos to the locker room with +2 (40-38).

When he returned to the floor, Olympiakos was bad with Zizic doing what he wanted on the field, with Bartzokas getting furious, to whom he “chanted” with the difference that he had escaped to +8 (51-43). Piraeus continued to “spoil” their percentages in the three-pointers, with Nanali a double-digit lead in Maccabi. Two good defenses, Fal’s nailing and Sloukas’s three-pointer enabled the “red and whites” to reduce (60-54), but at the end of the third quarter the Israelis reached a double-digit difference again (66-56).

In the fourth and last period, Olympiakos simply surrendered to the appetites of the hosts, who did whatever they wanted on the pitch. Piraeus scored half with the dropper, Wilbekin gave a show and the score left (81-59). Luckily for her, the Greek team reduced to the end and “softened” the otherwise painful defeat. (84-69).
