An easy evening at Peristeri!
Olympiacos bested Peristeri 93-67 on the road, for the 6th day of the Stoiximan Basket League and remains undefeated in the Greek League.
Our team played without the French center, Moustapha Falla, who suffered a first degree sprain of his right foot.
With an exemplary defense and Sasha Vezenkov and Hassan Martin heading the offense, the (infallible in the first quarter) Olympiacos ‘built’ a +18 margin (10-28 at 9’).
Playing with the same intensity defense wise, the ‘reds’ took the margin up to 23p. (18-41 at 18’), while, despite the ‘experimental’ line ups Giorgos Bartzokas was using, they got to go to the locker rooms for the bread with a +18 lead (26-44).
In the second half, Olympiacos began kind of sluggish and the hosts closed in to 15p. (34-49). Dorsey and Sloukas opened fire however from the three point line and immediately restored order (34-55 at 24’).
Consistently relying on their exceptional defensive game, Bartzokas’ players maintained absolute control, increased the distance even further (+30, 60-90 at 38’) and added a comfortable win to their record.
The quarters: 13-28, 26-44, 42-68, 67-93.
