Oscar da Silva scored around the basket and Hernangomez improved Wright's tip-in with a three-point play. Petrusev scored again and Wright's dunk made Barca stop the game at 32-25. Vesely downed a mid-range shot and Dario Brizuela added a layup, but Wright and an unstoppable Petrusev kept Olympiacos fully in charge, 37-32, at halftime.
A flurry of three-pointers!
Satoransky struck from beyond the arc immediately after the break. He soon found Laprovittola for a three-pointer that put Barca in charge, 37-38. Walkup and Parker joined the three-point shootout, then Kalinic hit a jumper for a 40-43 score. Fall scored down low and Walkup bettered Vesely's layup with a triple for a 45-45 tie. Peters found space for an uncontested three-pointer, Vesely dunked and Laprovittola buried one from downtown for a 48-50 Barca lead. Nigel Williams-Goss found his first point and fed Wright for an alley-oop dunk. Hernangomez answered with 4 quick points and Parker banked in a triple, good for a 51-57 Barca lead after 30 minutes.
Down to the wire!
Williams-Goss hit a jumper early in the fourth quarter and McKissic added a coast-to-coast layup for a 55-57 Olympiacos deficit. Hernangomez rescued Barca with a power layup and matched Petrusev's floater with a big basket. Williams-Goss buried a one-handed floater in the lane and Petrusev tied it at 61-61 with under 6 minutes left. Wright split free throws and matched Vesely's fadeaway jumper with a jump hook for a 64-63 score. Petrusev beat the buzzer with a 10-meter prayer, Wright stopped Vesely with a huge block and Williams-Goss boosted the Reds' lead to 69-63. Abrines sank a triple and bettered Walkup's mid-range jumper with another bomb from downtown to keep Barca within 71-69. Laprovittola tied the game with a reverse layup with 7.6 seconds remaining in regulation. Williams-Goss missed a mid-range shot at the buzzer.
Parker wins it!
Vesely buried a jumper early in overtime, which Williams-Goss erased with a one-handed shot in the lane. Satoransky scored in penetration for a 73-75 Barca edge. McKissic sank a three-pointer and Fall added a tip-in to restore a 78-75 Olympiacos lead. Vesely stepped up with an alley-oop dunk that Fall matched with another tip-in. Satoransky nailed a corner triple that tied it again, 80-80, with 36.6 seconds remaining. Williams-Goss missed from downtown and Parker drew a foul with 0.5 seconds left. He made a pair of free throws, missing the third deliberately to run the game clock down and sealing Barca's dramatic win.
