The Saint Petersburg team Zenit (12/16) represented by Artūras Gudaitis suffered a somewhat unexpected failure in the Euroleague. 61:75 (28:15, 13:15, 15:24, 5:21) had to acknowledge the advantage of the Piraeus Olympiacos basketball players (13/16).
Already in the first half, the 14: 0 streak allowed Zenit to gain a solid lead: 23: 9. In the second quarter, the difference had grown to 17 points (39:22), but Olympiacos were close to the 30:41 before the break.
The Greek club, which lost a real opportunity to get into the playoffs, did not lack motivation and began to show character in the third quarter – the 10: 0 stage allowed them to return to the fight for victory – 45:50. Not only that, at the end of thirty minutes of play, the hosts were even closer – 54:56.
OLY started the decisive leg of the match with 6 unanswered points and took the lead for the first time from minute 3 – 60:56. Vassilis Spanoulis continued to lead the hosts, who scored 10 points in 6 minutes and widened the gap to 9 points – 70:61. With a minute and a half to go, the Piraeus team was in double digits for the first time (72:61) and Zenit did not escape. In total, the veteran scored 11 of his team’s 21 points during the decisive quarter, which played without substitutions.
A. Gudaitis, who returned after injury, scored 3 points (1/2 colonies, 1/1 free throws) in 11 minutes, caught the ball, blocked 2 opponents pitches, provoked 2 fouls, once committed and scored 6 utility points.
