Olympiacos recorded a victory in the eighth round of the EuroLeague by defeating Besiktas on the road, following a late comeback, with a score of 81-73.
We saw a very interesting match in Istanbul, with a large number of runs, and after one such run, Dusan Alimpijevic’s team managed to take the lead in the middle of the final quarter (68-67).
However, an 11-0 run from the visitors followed, pushing them to a double-digit lead, which they maintained to secure the win.
The top scorer for the winning team was Sasha Vezenkov with 16 points, Tyrique Jones had 15, while Donta Hall added 14, and Tyson Ward scored 13. The team was once again without Nikola Milutinov, Evan Fournier, Jean Montero, and Tyler Dorsey.
On the other side, Jaylen Nowell was the best with 15 points, David DeJulius had 12, and Conor Morgan 11, while Lonnie Walker missed the game following an injury in the Turkish championship.
