Fourth defeat of the season for Monaco, canceled by Olympiacos
Monaco falls back into its failings. While remaining on successes against Red Star Belgrade and then CSKA Moscow, the “Roca Team” experienced its fourth defeat in eight Euroleague days during its trip to the floor of the Olympiacos. Zvezdan Mitrovic’s players have yet taken this meeting by the right end. Never behind for the first ten minutes, Alpha Diallo’s teammates (12 points) took advantage of the situation to sign a 9-0 in just under three minutes and reach the bar. ten points ahead. An advantage that the Principality’s players were able to maintain during the first five minutes of the second quarter. It was then that Olympiacos entered their match. Thanks in particular to Livio Jean-Charles (18 points, 5 rebounds), the Greeks have erased most of their delay to find their locker room just three lengths from Monaco.
Olympiacos has been able to reverse the trend
At three points, Danilo Andjusic (11 points) tried to wake up the “Roca Team” at the start of the third quarter. But all he did was postpone the deadline. Indeed, Olympiacos confirmed the trend seen just before half-time. Inflicting the Monegasques with a 16-2, the Piraeus club took control on the scoreboard to reach the start of the last ten minutes with a margin of seven lengths over the Principality club. A last quarter which was totally acquired at Olympiacos. Stuck at only thirteen points in ten minutes, the teammates of Donta Hall (11 points, 9 rebounds) suffered the Greek offensives with the gap which first exceeded ten points before settling beyond that of 20 units. At the end of the 40 minutes, Olympiacos signs its sixth victory in eight days with a margin of 21 points (86-65) and goes back to second place in the standings. Monaco, for its part, sees its record leveling out with four wins for four losses and an eighth place.
