Once again, Olympiakos lost due to their mistakes, losing their focus and ultimately the game. They failed to close out the match as needed, allowing Bayern to win 84-80. Giorgos Bartzokas’s team conceded many easy baskets and still struggles to secure a win away from the SEF in the Euroleague, tallying three losses in as many games.

Olympiakos, led by Fall, started the game better, but the home team quickly responded with a 9-0 run, taking a 11-6 lead (5′). Some rushed decisions on offense kept the score close, with Edwards and Voigtmann contributing to maintain the difference (13-8, 7′). However, Vezenkov consistently answered from the low post, and when Papapetrou entered the mix with 5 points, the score changed to 18-19 (9′).

Olympiacos coach Giorgos Bartzokas has traveled to Central Europe with a squad of 14 players, including Nikola Milutinov, who has returned to action, and Nigel Williams-Goss, who is expected to rejoin training soon.

Olympiacos’ roster for tonight’s game, excluding Williams-Goss, includes:
Wokap, Larentzakis, Vildoza, Dorsey, McKissic, Vezenkov, Papapetrou, Peters, Fournier, Wright, Fall, and Milutinov. The Serbian star is making his comeback to the EuroLeague following his minutes against Karditsa.

Fans of Olympiacos can expect significant support tonight, as approximately 2,500 passionate supporters will be present at the SAP Garden.
