With 41 seconds on the clock, Printezis lost two free throws, Laboral Kutxa couldn’t score, Oliver Lafayette missed the last shot and the hosts got the 74-73 win over Olympiacos.
The Reds were playing without their captain Vasilis Spanoulis, Bryant Dunston was sick and despite 15 points by Printezis it was clear that they had offensive issues with 18 assists and 16 turnovers. The situation was the same for the hosts (16 assists, 15 turnovers), Mike James was the leading scorer with 17 points, but in the end Laboral Kutxa proved to be the lucky one and got a valuable win in the race for the play offs.
