Fenerbahçe dominates the third quarter to defeat Olympiacos

Fenerbahçe secures a vital win in Piraeus with a dominant third quarter (26-19) and a strong team performance

Fenerbahçe achieved a crucial 87-77 victory over Olympiacos, which could prove pivotal in the EuroLeague standings. After a balanced first half (43-40 for the Turkish side), Jasikevicius’s team stepped up in the third quarter, delivering a decisive 26-19 run fueled by Hayes’s 7 points and Bibberovic’s poised playmaking.

Olympiacos, missing Walkup and McKissic, relied on Fournier’s 21 points (but on 6/19 shooting) and Vezenkov’s 19, the only players in double figures. However, Fenerbahçe’s rebounding dominance (36-27) and contributions from Guduric (21 points), Hayes-Davis (14), and McCollum (12) sealed the win.

Melli added 4 points and 5 rebounds in 12 minutes. With a win in their postponed game against Paris, Fenerbahçe could climb past Olympiacos to take the top spot.
