Olympiacos made won both games in the 'unofficial' double game week, defeating Baskonia 90–80 and improving its EuroLeague record to 22–11.
The top players for Olympiacos were Sasha Vezenkov (20 points, 6 rebounds) and Nikola Milutinov (17 points, 6 rebounds), while Tyrique Jones proved decisive in the closing moments.
Georgios Bartzokas started the game with Walkup, Dorsey, Ward, Vezenkov, and Milutinov, but Olympiacos began sluggishly, allowing Baskonia to take a 6-point lead (4–10), prompting the Greek coach to call an early timeout. This was followed by a 7–0 run for Olympiacos, who took the lead, with Nikola Milutinov finishing every play in the opening 5' (8 points on 4/4 2-pointers).
However, after that stretch, Olympiacos’ performance dropped again, while Jones’ two fouls added further concern for Bartzokas. Baskonia hit three troples during that time, while aside from Milutinov’s 10 points, the rest of the Olympiacos players combined for just 9, allowing the visitors to take a 5-point lead (19–24).
In the first half of the second quarter, Olympiacos continued to struggle, and Joseph and Dorsey were both taken out (for the remainder of the half) due to foul trouble. However, the reintroduction of Walkup and Vezenkov changed the tempo. Olympiacos went up by two (37–35), four minutes before halftime, after a basket by the unstoppable Milutinov, who had 15 points and 4 rebounds at that stage.
Olympiacos went into halftime leading by one point (41–40), with Sasha Vezenkov becoming the team’s second double-digit scorer, reaching 12 points.
In the third quarter, Tyler Dorsey became more involved offensively, while Vezenkov showed he was ready to lead the team. For Baskonia, Omoruyi was influential at the start of the second half, and Olympiacos was unable to build a bigger lead. Defense from both teams was disappointing, but thanks to some key offensive plays by Dorsey late in the quarter, Olympiacos took a seven-point lead (69–62).
The final quarter began with a basket and foul by Tyrique Jones, giving Olympiacos its first double-digit lead (72–62). Baskonia, taking advantage of Olympiacos’ sluggishness, attempted another comeback and managed to cut the deficit to 6 (80–74) with a three-pointer by Cobi Simmons with 4:23'' remaining.
In the closing minutes, Baskonia reduced the gap to 4 points, but Olympiacos remained composed, with Jones leading the way - scoring 11 points in the final quarter - to secure the 90–80 victory.
