Euroleague, Olimpia Milano falls in Piraeus. Olympiacos wins 67-58 – Sport – Basketball

Athens (Greece), February 24, 2022 – External stop in Euroleague for theArmani AX Milano which was beaten at the Peace & Friendship Arena in Athens 67-58 dall’Olympiacos. Fatal to the formation of Ettore Messina – who had just returned from the triumph in the Italian Cup – was the fourth quarter, in which the light of the Milanese energy reserve came on and Olympiacos managed to place the paw of overtaking thanks to the plays of pure class of Costas Sloukas e Sasha Vezenkov (16 points). Rather important in the Hellenic ranks, however, also the contributions provided by the former Pesaro Shaquielle Mckissic (14 points) and by a Mustapha Fall unstoppable under the boards (12 points and 7 rebounds). Nothing to do, therefore, for Olimpia who, after leading rhythms and scores for 30 ‘, collected a 28-15 partial in the final 10’, thus being forced to raise the white flag at the end of a bad evening, in the which the only Milanese in double figures was Devon Hall with 15 points on the scoresheet. On the Milanese front, Dinos Mitoglou’s return to the field is also more than positive (8 points).

The race

Olimpia started with high gears and, led by Melli, immediately dug a furrow, also taking advantage of an Olympiacos that was imprecise to say the least in shooting (7-15 with a sensational 2/14 shooting and 0/6 from the bow of the Hellenes). In the second half, however, the hosts, after hitting -12, were able to raise their heads dragged by the jabs of Sloukas and McKissic and, with a 9-0 break, they significantly reduced the gap by returning to the locker room below. only two lengths (25-27). The head-to-head continued until the middle of the fourth fraction (the third ended with Milan ahead 39-43), when two triples by Sloukas and the baskets by Fall and Vezenkov they dug a groove that Olimpia has no longer been able to fill.
