Game turns in the fourth quarter

Valencia gradually erased the deficit early in the final ten minutes, taking the lead at 82–83 and never looking back. Rivers was instrumental in punishing Olympiacos’ slow defensive rotations, while Puerto delivered back-to-back three-pointers that proved decisive.

Despite efforts from Dorsey and Milutinov—who scored repeatedly from the free-throw line—the hosts were unable to stop Valencia’s momentum. The Spanish side extended their lead to double digits in the final minutes, effectively sealing the game.

Olympiacos loses focus at a critical moment

Head coach Giorgos Bartzokas called timeouts in an attempt to restore order, but Olympiacos continued to struggle defensively and committed costly mistakes. With 1:21 remaining, frustration was evident as the home team failed to capitalize on key possessions.

Sasha Vezenkov reduced the margin slightly from the free-throw line late on, but Valencia calmly closed out the game, leaving Olympiacos with little time for a comeback.
