Kaunas, WE ARE COMING!!!
Olympiacos wrote one more golden page in his history book! The team won the 5th playoffs game vs Fenerbhance (84-72) in a packed SEF and ‘sealed’ for the second straight year their participation in the Euroleague Final Four!!!
With good ball movement and Kostas Sloukas and Thomas Walkup leading the way, our team – despite bad long range percentages – controlled the tempo and closed the first quarter at +5 (20-15). Relying on Marko Guduric’s ‘hot’ hand, the guests succeeded in turning the game around and take the lead for the first time at 15’ (29-31). The ‘red & whites’ though responded immediately… They put pressure in defense and with Kostas Sloukas spearheading the offence, they ‘ran’ a partial 13-0 that gave them a +13 lead (44-31). Finally, with 2 for 2 free throws, Tyler Dorsey made the score 44-33, which was the score that marked the end of the first half.
In the third quarter, the guests fought hard to turn the game (57-49), but the amazing Kostas Sloukas – who was both facilitating and executing – did not allow them the luxury (65-52 at 30’). And when Sasha Vezenkov entered the equation with force, Olympiacos sent the difference to 17p. (78-61) at 37’, practically ‘finishing’ the job.
The quarters: 20-15, 44-43, 65-52, 84-72.
