Olympiacos achieved a triumph in the first match of the Greek Championship Quarterfinals as they easily defeated Kolossos Rhodes at home with a score of 117-76.
Despite playing this match without Sasha Vezenkov, Olympiacos comfortably secured the victory and took a 1-0 lead in the Quarterfinal series.
Nikola Milutinov scored 20 points with six rebounds, Giannoulis Larentzakis added 17, Tyler Dorsey 16, and Alec Peters 12. On the other side, Keondre Kennedy had 24 points, while Chevez Goodwin and Iosif Koloveros added 10 each.
The home team resolved the question of the winner already in the first half, as after 20 minutes, Jorgos Bartzokas’s players had a lead of 70-35, with an incredible 20/22 for two points. Until the end, they only managed to maintain the difference and secure the lead.
The next match is scheduled to take place in Rhodes in three days, and a potential victory would take Olympiacos to the Semifinals, against AEK or Aris. PAOK has already secured a place in the Semifinals, while the series between Panathinaikos and Mykonos is yet to start due to the EuroLeague playoffs.
