More in a while…
The match:
Olympiacos started the match with Walkup, Kanaan, Brazdeikis, Peters and Fall, while Aris with Toliopoulos, Galinat, Harrell, Bloombergs and De Souza. The visitors scored the first points of the match with Galinat’s three-pointer (0-3), but then the “red and whites” stepped on the gas and… disappeared!
In particular, they “ran” a 15-0 run (15-3), led by Peters who scored seven points, and took a significant lead that put them in a leading role in the match. However, the home side had an unlucky moment as they saw Walkup leave the match after being hit by Harrell.
Stark unstuck Aris with a three-pointer (15-6), however, with three shots by Mitrou-Long in the 8th minute, the difference went to +12 for Olympiakos (18-6). In the last minutes of the first period, the fouls had their… honor, with the players of both teams constantly going for the shots, while the entrance of Bohorides helped the “yellows”, who reduced the difference to -9 at the end of the quarter ( 20-11).
Persidis reduced the difference even further with a three-pointer (20-14), with Larentzakis “responding” in the same way in the next phase for 23-14. Aris was accurate offensively and reduced to -4 (23-19), but Olympiacos found a way to keep the difference in their favor (26-19). Larentzakis with his shots helped the “red and whites” in a time when they made mistakes in defense (31-24), while with a 6-0 at the end they finished the first part at +14 (41-27).
The quarters: 20-11, 41-27, 59-52, 85-71
