Awful three-point shooting haunted Olympiacos at Partizan

Olympiacos Piraeus suffered an abysmal three-point shooting night of almost historic proportions on Friday night, which contributed significantly to a 90-75 defeat at Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. As a result of this loss, the Reds are still waiting to seal home-court advantage in the playoffs.
In front of a packed Stark Arena in Belgrade, the below-par visiting team incredibly missed its first 15 shots from beyond the arc, taking more than 31 minutes to finally strike from deep through Shaquielle McKissic. Another accurate shot from McKissic and a triple from Kostas Papanikolaou somewhat redeemed the final figures, as Olympiacos finished with 3 conversions on 20 attempts from beyond the arc.
Despite that late flurry, it was by far the worst long-range shooting night of the season for the Greek giants, which had made at least 6 triples in every previous game. And the total of 3 three-pointers was the lowest made by Olympiacos in the EuroLeague since March 2019, when the team shot just 2-of-16 from deep in a loss at EA7 Emporio Armani Milan.
Among the culprits was league MVP candidate Sasha Vezenkov, who missed all 3 of his long-range attempts to snap a streak of nine straight games with at least 1 three-pointer made. Giannoulis Larentzakis also missed 3, while Thomas Walkup fared even worse by failing with all 4 of his three-point attempts.
