Fall detonates the dunk! Motorola Magic Moment
It was Olympiacos which started the better as Peters, Evan Fournier and Vezenkov put the Reds 7-0 ahead. Lorenzo Brown got Panathinaikos on the board, then Konstantinos Mitoglou, Yurtseven and Nunn combined to cut the deficit to four points, 12-8. Vezenkov and Peters struck from downtown as the Reds pushed the lead to 20-10. Vezenkov kept charging to move the score to 26-12. Peters stayed hot, too, while a couple of late Wright scores made it a 15-point ballgame, 33-18. Kendrick Nunn closed the first quarter by moving to 7 points, which meant he is the first player in EuroLeague history to score 800 points in one season. It was 33-20 after 10 minutes.
Panathinaikos found a response in the second quarter as Alexandros Samodurov knocked down a three-pointer, then four points by Lessort and five by Osman made things interesting at 36-32. Samodurov and Jerian Grant responded to Olympiacos, 42-38, but Wright, Saben Lee and Vezenkov stepped up as the Reds went 57-42 ahead. The Greens had back-to-back scores to finish the second quarter, however, as Nunn converted before Tibor Pleiss had a put-back dunk to cut the gap to 57-46 at the interval.
Yurtseven and Osman joined forces to put more pressure on Olympiacos in the early stages of the third frame, 60-52, but Fournier’s triple and Moustapha Fall’s dunk ensured it was a double-digit difference again, 66-54. Yurtseven, Osman and Mitoglou brought it within five points, 67-62, but Peters and Vezenkov were there to keep things calm for Olympiacos, which led 75-64 heading into the final quarter.
Any hopes of a Panathinaikos comeback were put on hold as Vezenkov and Lee responded to a Grant three, 81-69, and again when Peters struck from three-point land before Wright scored inside at 86-72. Giannoulis Larentzakis’s triple looked like it could have been the closer at 89-76, but there was still life in last year’s champion as Panathinaikos went on a 16-4 run to make it very interesting at 93-90. Larentzakis hit a couple of free throws with 7 seconds left, 95-90, then Kalaitzakis converted a three, 95-93, but Peters had a perfect trip to the line as Olympiacos grabbed a 97-93 win.
