Peristeri bwin started with Thompson, Kaselakis, Williams, Ragland and Poulianitis, while Olympiacos started with Milutinov, Peters, Papanikolaou, Kanan and Walkap. The “red and whites” had taken control early on, as with defense as a reference point and Walkap and Papanikolaou in the attack, they went to +13 (3-16), in the first five minutes. Afterwards, Xanthopoulos and Williams entered the court for Spanoulis’ team, which reacted and reduced (12-18), in the 8th minute. In the last two minutes, the pace of the match… shot up with Hunts having found his… hand, but Williams-Goss and Larentzakis keeping the Piraeus at +7 (20-27) at the end of the first period.

Peristeri bwin entered the second quarter with more energy, with Hunts and Dangubich punishing all the mistakes of Olympiakos and making separate scores of 10-2 for the lead (30-29), in the first three minutes. There, Milutinov and Walkup returned for the “red and whites”, who responded with a 12-0 run, for +11 (30-41), until 17′. From that point on, Barzokas players were in control, with Hunts aggressively keeping the western suburbs team at bay, but Piraeus going into the locker room with +10 (36-46).

With a 4-0 streak, Peristeri bwin entered the second half, with Olympiakos responding with three-pointers by Walkap and Kanan, for +12 (40-52). Then, the “red and whites” took control and with Milutinov added to the… equation, they escaped to +14 (47-61), in the 28th minute. In the last two minutes, both missed, but the Piraeus kept their distance in double digits at the end of the third period (50-63).

Olympiacos entered the fourth period very focused. With a good defense, but also Williams-Goss and Milutinov very “hot” offensively, the “red and whites” jumped the difference to +20 (55-75), in the 35th minute. From that point until the end, the game became more free-flowing, but Barzoka’s players held the reins, cruising to an 84-64 final victory.
