EuroLeague Playoffs

Both Greek teams in the Euroleague are now on a 2-1 record, as Olympiakos saw off Armani Milano in Piraeus and Panathinaikos went down at new boys Paris Basketball on Tuesday.

Olympiakos was consistently better than Armani Milano and predictably won 89-68 after a solid performance that banished the memories of the loss to Fenerbahce on October 4.

French forward Adrien Moerman carried Anadolu Efes to an 85-72 victory on Dec. 26's ING Basketball Super League.

Moerman was on fire in the week 14 opener at Istanbul's Sinan Erdem, producing 25 points and 15 rebounds.

Croatian guard Krunoslav Simon scored 15 points, five rebounds, and six assists, while U.S.-born Turkish guard Shane Larkin came off the bench to add 14 points

Istanbul clubs got the better of their opponents from Greece in the Euroleague this week, as Olympiakos lost at home to Fenerbahce on Thursday and Panathinaikos went down at Anadolu Efes on Friday.

The Reds suffered their third defeat in a row losing 73-72 in Piraeus to Fener that had Greek international Costas Sloukas score 20 points to decide the game in the visitors' favor.

Buoyed by two sensational road wins last week, Istanbul's Fenerbahçe could become the first team to advance to the EuroLeague Final Four by sweeping a best-of-five series at home when it hosts Panathinaikos on April 25.
