Olympiacos dominated, crushing Dubai BC!
Coming off a loss marked by a disappointing performance against Red Star and a hard-fought victory against Marousi, the Piraeus team bounced back with an impressive performance, crushing their opponent with a resounding 101-72 victory!
Giorgos Bartzokas’s team, which took the court without Papanikolaou, Montero, and Dorsey, showed great energy from the first quarter onward and, after building a double-digit lead in the second, sealed the victory in the second half thanks to the superb duo of Fournier and Vezhenkov, improving its record to 8-3, remaining just a hair’s breadth from the top of the standings!
Fournier was the top scorer for the victors, finishing the game with 28 points on 5-for-7 shooting from three-point range and 5 assists, while Vezhenkov had 20 points on a historic night for him, as he surpassed Spanoulis to become Olympiacos’ all-time leading scorer in the EuroLeague! Joseph (12 points), Enzai (11 points), and McIntyre (10 points, 7 assists) also scored in double figures! For Dubai, which dropped to 7-4, Bacon (20 points) and Kampengele (14 points, 7 rebounds) stood out.
Now, the “Red-and-Whites” are turning their attention to next week’s doubleheader, in which they will face Maccabi Tel Aviv (Tuesday, Nov. 17) in Cyprus and Real Madrid (Friday, Nov. 20) at Sunel Arena, following a very difficult away game against Aris (Sunday, Nov. 15, 5:30 p.m.), for Round 7 of the Stoiximan GBL!
Quarter scores: 25-18, 57-43, 88-56, 101-71
