The game at the Paz y Amistad Stadium was tough for both teams, but at the end of the night the strongest won.
Specifically, the one with the most influential player in the game won. Walter Tavares’ Real Madrid, who won 86-82 in extra time to go 10-5 in the Euroleague and beat Piraeus 7-7 with two defeats in the third week of the devil, after 2/2 of the previous one in Barcelona and Belgrade.
Sakil McKissick, who went boldly, stubbornly played, again and again, on the beastly Tavares, Hassan Martin was great in the second half, broke in collaborations with Spanoulis and Slouka, Olympiakos was able to win the match, but missed the peripheral shots much needed against a team with a center at 2:20 pm
Great game by Walter Tavares who after another 41 minutes at OAKA played another 35 at SEF, impressive Nicolas Laprovitola who scored 19 points in his best appearance with the Real shirt this year, terrible job by Trey Tombkins, bad new injury for Anthony Randolph who appears to have suffered extensive Achilles tendon damage.
The MVP

The 220 cm center had 13 points from 5/6 two points and 3/4 shots, 10 rebounds, one assist, five blocks, four fouls won and countless execution fouls from Olympiacos, while his spikes and spikes reminded him of a man who played towards children.
THE WEAK LINK
There was no one who really lagged behind Olympiakos, those who played had stubbornness, focus and energy. It would be unfair to characterize someone as a weak link after such a difficult match, it is one of the few cases where such a thing happens. Surely Costas Sloukas would have liked to have made the triple at the end of the regular season to give his team a big win, but he certainly can’t be called fatal.
