Olympiacos BC stayed firmly in the driver’s seat of the EuroLeague standings and improved to 21-7 in the regular season after cruising to an 82-70 home win over KK Partizan, the club’s 12th in the last 13 games in Europe’s premier club competition.

Olympiacos rolls on with smooth win over Partizan, 82-70

Olympiacos Piraeus stayed firmly in the driver’s seat of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings and improved to 21-7 in the regular season after cruising to an 82-70 home win over Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, the club’s 12th in the last 13 games in Europe’s premier club competition.

Having already secured a postseason berth with seven games to spare after some results went its way on Thursday evening, Olympiacos made light of the matchup with Partizan as the Greek giant led from start to finish in a lop-sided contest.

Sasha Vezenkov paced Olympiacos with 17 points and 6 boards but it was Partizan’s former center Nikola Milutinov who claimed the player of the game accolade after racking up 10 points and 9 boards, while Nigel Williams-Goss posted 10 points and 4 assists.

At the other end, Carlik Jones led Partizan on 17 points, Brandon Davies added 14 and captain Vanja Marinkovic chipped in with 12, but Partizan never looked capable of staging an upset as the visitors were devoid of energy and bereft of ideas on offense.

With the home fans in full swing as Olympiacos kicked off celebrations marking the club’s milestone 100th anniversary, the hosts made an early statement of intent and led 27-18 at the end of the first quarter.

Vezenkov led the way on 9 points as a ruthless Olympiacos shot 7 of 9 from inside and dished out 9 assists, with the home team thriving on impeccable movement off the ball on offense and an array of set plays which generated a barrage of easy points.

The trend continued in the second as a 12-2 run saw Olympiacos carve out a massive 37-20 advantage before Partizan enjoyed its brightest spell of the game by producing a 0-8 run. The Greek side responded immediately with a 9-2 streak which resulted in a 46-32 lead at halftime as Olympiacos dominated the paint, too, with Milutinov and fellow big man Moustapha Fall comprising a wall at their end of the court.

Visiting head coach Zeljko Obradovic tried to counter by deploying two bigs at the same time in the third quarter, Davies and Tyrique Jones, but nothing worked for Partizan and the EuroLeague’s most trophy-laden coach seemed resigned to his team’s fate.

Normally energetic and screaming instruction to his players in the heat of battle, Obradovic at one point just sat down on his bench in dismay as Olympiacos kept its foot on the gas and led 64-51 ahead of the final 10 minutes.

Partizan managed to close the gap to 11 points several times in the fourth quarter but Olympiacos always found another gear when it needed to and pulled away to 80-61 in the home stretch, before the visitors slashed the deficit in the last two minutes.

It was too little too late though and Olympiacos ran out a worthy winner after a rock-solid team effort, which saw the home side dish out 25 assists against just 12 turnovers, having also won the battle of the boards 33-27.

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv defeated LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne 95-102 at LDLC Arena on Friday night to clinch its eighth in a row against the French powerhouse. 

Maccabi prevails in offensive battle against ASVEL, 95-102

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv defeated LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne 95-102 at LDLC Arena on Friday night to clinch its eighth in a row against the French powerhouse. The visitors escaped 24-35 early in the second period and led for most of the second half, but they needed to overcome an ASVEL rally in the fourth period as the hosts made it 81-80 with eight minutes remaining. A good reaction led by Jimmy Clark, Marial Shayok and Jasiel Rivero reanimated the guests and allowed them to close out the game and improve to 8-20. ASVEL fell to 11-17 after collecting its fifth defeat in a row. 

Levi Randolph led six Maccabi players in double figures with 19 points. Roman Sorkin, Clark, Rivero and Shayok scored 15 apiece, while Trevion Williams poured in 13. Nando de Colo paced ASVEL with 20 points and 8 assists, Melvin Ajinca had 14 points, Paris Lee added 12, and Joffrey Lauvergne and Neal Sako chipped in 10, with the latter also grabbing 11 rebounds for a double-double.

With Sorkin and Rivero dominating inside, Maccabi took an early 0-5 lead that lasted for more than four minutes before De Colo hit the first three of the night to make it 7-5. Free throws by Lee and Sako allowed ASVEL to stay ahead until Randolph tied it from behind the arc, 10-10, after seven minutes. The home team seemed to have taken control when Tarik Black made a three-point play that built an 18-12 edge, but back-to-back triples by Shayok and Clark evened things at 20-20 at the end of the first period.

Maccabi started very strong offensively and managed to extend its streak to 2-14, good for a double-digit lead, 22-31, early in the second. With John DiBartolomeo and Clark pulling the strings on offense, and using zone defense for many minutes, the visitors maintained a double-digit lead, 34-44. Veterans De Colo and Lauvergne then took over and even though defensive flaws penalized the hosts, ASVEL managed to recover, trailing by just two points, 51-53, at halftime, with the duo providing 12 of ASVEL’s last 17 points in the quarter.

Both teams remained red-hot on offense after the break as an exchange of three-pointers between Blatt and Ajinca made it 59-63 for Maccabi with just three minutes played in the period. De Colo trimmed the gap to 62-65 with his 500th career three-pointer soon after, then Ajinca also hit from deep, and Shaquille Harrison finished a fast break to make it all square, 67-67. Williams and Sorkin helped the visitors rebuild a short lead that Clark extended to 67-75 with a monster dunk after a steal. Then, De Colo showed up again and avoided an early escape with 5 points in a row that closed the third period with Maccabi leading 72-78.

Clark’s fourth foul and another three-pointer by De Colo revitalized ASVEL, which completed the rally and regained an 81-80 advantage after Lee turned De Colo’s assist into a fast-break triple with eight minutes to go. Clark returned to the game and immediately delivered one dish and a couple of fast breaks to boost Maccabi, 83-87. Consecutive three-point plays by ASVEL gave the home crowd a spark, but Shayok and Rivero joined Clark on offense to maintain a 92-96 edge for Maccabi entering crunch time. The hosts had another chance as a three-point play off an offensive rebound by Sako made it a one-point game. Nevertheless, Maccabi punished ASVEL through Rivero, who converted under the rim to keep a 95-98 margin. A long three by De Colo didn’t find the net on the following possession and free throws by Randolph sealed the outcome with 23 seconds to go.

The home team lost Maledon early in the game with a thumb injury

Anadolu Efes didn't get off to the best of starts on Friday evening against Virtus Bologna. After halftime, though, it was a different story as Vincent Poirier spearheaded a second-half comeback that saw Efes lock in defensively.

Vincent Poirier shined as Efes’s second-half defense overwhelmed Virtus

[Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/) didn't get off to the best of starts [on Friday evening against Virtus Segafredo Bologna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/efes-beats-virtus-89-68-for-fourth-straight-home-win/). After halftime, though, it was a different story as [Vincent Poirier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vincent-poirier/004887/) spearheaded a second-half comeback that saw Efes lock in defensively.

Virtus were the better team before the break, taking a 39-42 lead into the third quarter. That’s precisely when Poirier stepped up, helping Efes to pack the paint as it looked to tighten up its defense.

Poirier set the tone on both ends, recording 9 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in the third quarter as the hosts held Virtus to just 10 points, with Efes taking a 61-52 advantage into the closing period.

“I think that we got some interceptions in the second half,” Poirier told EuroLeague TV after the game. “We packed the defense and everything was harder for them. That’s the way we need to play, especially at home. It’s our home court. We need to defend and \[allow\] no easy layup.”

Poirier dominated inside and finished the game with 18 points and a season-high 13 rebounds, 7 of which came on the offensive end to provide Efes with important extra possessions.

“I knew that I had to step on the court and dominate tonight,” he added. “Every game is like a final for us and I hope we’re going to continue like that.”

Having recorded an 89-68 triumph to notch its fourth straight win at home, Efes will now look to grab its first road victory in 10 games.

“It’s time for us to go on the road and get some wins if we want to have some ambitions,” coach Luca Banchi stressed in the postgame press conference.

To do so, the Turkish side will need to down an FC Bayern Munich side boasting extraordinary offensive firepower. Hence, defense will once again be key next week at SAP Garden, where Efes will need to emulate Friday’s defensive outing as it looks to escape with an important victory that would allow it to remain in playoff conversation.

Efes beats Virtus, 89-68, for fourth straight home win

Anadolu Efes Istanbul extended its winning streak at home to four games by defeating Virtus Segafredo Bologna 89-68 on Friday evening. The visitors were superior before the break and took a 39-42 lead into the second half, but Efes tightened up its defense and outscored Virtus 22-10 in the third quarter to turn the game around. This win allowed Efes to improve its record to 14-14, while Virtus suffered its sixth consecutive loss and dropped to 7-21. 

Elijah Bryant led all scorers with 21 points and Vincent Poirier bagged an 18-point, 13-rebound double-double. Shane Larkin scored 12 points and Rolands Smits added 11. Toko Shengelia paced Virtus with 17 points and Matt Morgan netted 11.

Bryant opened the scoring from deep, but five points from Shengelia and a layup by Daniel Hackett in transition gave Virtus a 5-7 lead. Then, Bryant took his tally to an early 10 points to put Efes back in front, 17-12. Larkin netted one from downtown, but Alessandro Pajola responded with two straight triples and Morgan went 2 of 2 from the line to tie it up at 24-24 after 10 minutes.

Virtus started the second quarter with a 2-11 run inspired by Pajola and Justin Holiday. Darius Thompson answered with a three-point play before a triple from Smits and a tip-in by Poirier slashed the deficit to 34-38. Back-to-back baskets from Shengelia were followed by a buzzer-beating triple from Bryant, who brought Efes within 39-42 at halftime.

Bryant and Larkin drilled one each from beyond the arc and Poirier scored inside to put Efes ahead, 49-48. The Efes center added another 5 points to his tally and PJ Dozier sank a triple that gave the hosts a 61-52 cushion heading into the final quarter.

Dozier opened the fourth with another three, but Daniel Hackett, Momo Diouf and Nicola Akele scored inside to cut the difference to 66-58. Yet, Larkin nailed a signature off-balance triple and Bryant scored one of his own to open a 76-62 lead, which practically put the game to bed.

The [Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/bas/) family is celebrating its 25th anniversary at the pinnacle of European basketball. The club organized a special event attended by Euroleague Basketball President Dejan Bodiroga, commemorating the fact that Baskonia is one of just four teams that have played in every season of Europe's premier basketball competition.

One of the event's main highlights was the premiere of a documentary featuring Josean Querejeta, Alfredo Salazar, and Felix Fernandez, reflecting on these 25 years at the top level. Additionally, a roundtable discussion featuring [Pablo Laso](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/bas/laso-pablo/?season=E2024), [Luis Scola](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/luis-scola/ajg/), [Igor Rakocevic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/igor-rakocevic/anb/), and the aforementioned Dejan Bodiroga provided an opportunity to highlight the significance of this silver anniversary and relive some of the most thrilling moments in EuroLeague history.

"I want to take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate Josean, Felix and his team for the great work they have done over the years.

"Baskonia always had a clear identity, as well as clear and special ideas, and this is something you could also see on the court."
