82:70 (27:18, 19:14, 18:19, 18:19)
Olympiacos Piraeus stayed firmly in the driver’s seat of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings and improved to 21-7 in the regular season after cruising to an 82-70 home win over Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, the club’s 12th in the last 13 games in Europe’s premier club competition.
Having already secured a postseason berth with seven games to spare after some results went its way on Thursday evening, Olympiacos made light of the matchup with Partizan as the Greek giant led from start to finish in a lop-sided contest.
Sasha Vezenkov paced Olympiacos with 17 points and 6 boards but it was Partizan’s former center Nikola Milutinov who claimed the player of the game accolade after racking up 10 points and 9 boards, while Nigel Williams-Goss posted 10 points and 4 assists.
At the other end, Carlik Jones led Partizan on 17 points, Brandon Davies added 14 and captain Vanja Marinkovic chipped in with 12, but Partizan never looked capable of staging an upset as the visitors were devoid of energy and bereft of ideas on offense.
