OT win for the Reds against Real, as the Greens go down

Olympiakos remained on top of the Euroleague with an overtime home win over Real Madrid, while Panathinaikos succumbed to a Zalgiris coached by its former star, Sarunas Jasikevicius.

The Reds triumphed 92-83 in 45 minutes on Friday, for their ninth win in 11 games.

The game at the Peace and Friendship Stadium went to overtime even though seven minutes from the end Olympiakos had led by 13 (64-51).

Giorgos Printezis actually had the chance to end the game four seconds from the end of regulation, but missed both free throws at 72-72. However he got his revenge in overtime when he scored seven consecutive points to turn a 77-79 deficit into an 84-79 advantage that had Real unable to respond.

Real relied on just two players, Luka Doncic and Jaycee Carroll (with 33 and 24 points respectively), but Olympiakos had Printezis score nine points in overtime...
