The match
The game started impressively for the “blaugrana”, who gave the match their rhythm and with big shots created a serious defensive problem for Olympiakos. Parker was the protagonist at the start with 3/3 three-pointers, becoming a “headache” for Giorgos Bartzokas’ team. Kalinic made it 21-10 for Barcelona in the 7th minute, to be followed by the counterattack of the Greek team, which with individual 10-2 cuts reduced to 23-20, just before the finale of the first period, which ended with a 4- 0 for the hosts and the score to be 27-20.
Satoransky made his presence felt on the floor, giving Roger Grimeau a nine-point lead, which led 29-20 early in the second period. The five that came from the bench did a good job for the “red and whites”, who gradually began to reduce the difference, getting important solutions from Williams-Goss, McKissick and Brazdeikis. The latter gave precedence to Olympic 41-40 at 19′, but the half ended 44-41 with four Barcelona points, described in ertsports.
The start of the second half was similar to the first half, with the Catalans building a good lead thanks to their long-range accuracy. With three-pointers by Satoranksi, Brithuela and Kalinic they reached +11 (58-47). A 5-0 run by Walkup and Fal cut Olympiacos to 58-52, but they were inconsistent offensively and Hernangomet was an unsolved problem for the Piraeus defense. The Spanish center with consecutive baskets led Barcelona to 75-63, at the end of the third period.
The ten minutes: 27-20, 44-41, 75-63, 86-78
