The Euroleague continues with the rematch following the postponements created by the wave of contagions, and tonight (Tuesday) one such was held in France when Olympiacos defeated Willerban 93: 101 after extra time. Only four days ago the two met in the 20th round of the season, so the French actually won a battle held in Greece. This time, in the away game, the Greeks came back smiling and went up to a 9:11 balance.
The outstanding player, as against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the victory a week ago (also after extra time), was the veteran Costas Slokas. The quarterback scored 23 points including an important three towards the end of legal time that prevented a loss. Shaquille McKisick also scored 23 for the winner, while on the other side Norris Cole scored 21 points and David Lighty contributed 18.
The visitors went up in the first quarter to a 10-point lead, but lost it pretty quickly in the second quarter. A 0: 7 run helped her go down to the break with a 37:44 advantage. Later in the game he remained completely close as Wheelerban chased throughout the third quarter, managing to complete a turnaround in the fourth and produce a 6-point gap. However, the thriller reached a state of minimal and minimal difference in the closing minutes, and a three by Slokas 9 tenths to the buzzer set up 86:86, which sent the contest to another five minutes, where Slokas and Aaron Harrison closed out an interest.
