After a six-year hiatus, Olympiacos has returned to the EuroLeague final. The determining factor was an impressive third quarter with a 27-2 score, following a 12-point deficit at half-time.
Despite Mike James’ 13 points at the break, he only scored four in the second half. A strong defensive performance from Tomas Walkup and strategic decisions from Obradovic took the American off the court three minutes before the final buzzer.
The match ended 76-62. For Olympiacos, Sasha Vezenkov scored 19 points and Kostas Papanikolaou 15. However, crucial contributions were the 9 points and 7 assists from Kostas Sloukas, along with the 7 assists and a stalwart defense from Tomas Walkup. In the case of Monaco, Mike James scored 17 points, but only 4 in the second half, and he ended up on the bench in the final stages (a definitive break with Obradovic?). Elie Okobo added 15 points and 5 assists.
On Sunday, Olympiacos will be seeking the fourth EuroLeague title in its history against the winner of the “Clasico” between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
