Ωραίο μπάσκετ στο Σ.Ε.Φ.


Με όπλο του τη σκληρή άμυνα, ο Ολυμπιακός καθάρισε εύκολα τη Ζαλγκίρις επικρατώντας στο Σ.Ε.Φ. με 74-59. Στο κουίζ των Λιθουανών βρήκαν απάντηση οι ερυθρόλευκοι σπάζοντας τη ζώνη με καλή κυκλοφορία της μπάλας. Σε πολύ καλή βραδιά η τριπλέτα Πρίντεζη - Σπανούλη - Παπανικολάου που μαζί με τον καλό οργανωτικά Μάντζαρη, έπαιξαν καλό μπάσκετ και δεν άφησαν περιθώρια αντίδρασης στους παίκτες του Σάρας. Για τον Ολυμπιακό αγωνίστηκαν όλοι οι παίκτες και βρέθηκαν σε καλή βραδιά οι περισσότεροι.

Ο Ολυμπιακός θέλει το 3/3 με Ρεάλ (εντός), Χίμκι (εκτός) και ΤΣΣΚΑ (εντός) για να προκριθεί στα playoff.
