Will Clyburn’s pregame: “We face Olympiacos, they will be aggressive from the start. They are coming from a loss in the EuroLeague, so I expect a very passionate environment. We will have to play a good game, controlling their pace and trying not to turn on their fans. We will have to play our basketball.”
