Shortz, managed to reduce the deficit from 20 to just 6 points at one stage, Olympiacos never lost control of the game. Giorgos Bartzokas\u2019 players consistently responded with key plays, preventing any further Parisian rally.<\/p>\n<p>With the win, Olympiacos improves their record to 18-7, maintaining their hold on first place in the Euroleague standings. The result is even sweeter after Fenerbahce\u2018s victory over Panathinaikos (4\/2), giving Olympiacos a two-win lead over the second-placed Turks (16-8), who still have a postponed game against Paris scheduled for March 2. Additionally, Olympiacos is now two wins ahead of Monaco (16-9).<\/p>\n<p>Sasha Vezenkov starred for Olympiacos, finishing with 23 points, 17 of which came in a brilliant first-quarter performance. His shooting was near perfect (6\/6 free throws, 4\/5 two-pointers, 3\/5 three-pointers), while also contributing 6 rebounds and 2 assists. The team\u2019s French star, Evan Fournier, also had an impressive showing, scoring 18 points in the city where he was born and raised, hitting 3 out of 10 three-pointers, earning applause from the home crowd.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u039f \u0392\u03b5\u03b6\u03ad\u03bd\u03ba\u03bf\u03c6 \u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u03a0\u039b\u0391\u039a\u0391: 23\u03ac\u03c1\u03b1 \u03ba\u03cc\u03bd\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03a0\u03b1\u03c1\u03af!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AJzNgztkI1o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Nigel Williams-Goss stepped up in the absence of injured Thomas Walkup and Luca Vildosa, contributing 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 assist. Giannoulis Larenzakis was vital in the second quarter, scoring 10 of his 18 total points from behind the arc. Nikola Milutinov added 10 points and 7 rebounds, continuing his excellent form in the paint.<\/p>\n<p>Paris, the surprise team of the Euroleague this season, struggled against the Olympiacos defense, finishing with just 73 points. Despite a valiant effort from Ify (19 points) and Shortz (15 points and 9 assists), the French side\u2019s shooting woes were evident, as they managed only 9 out of 37 from three-point range. This defeat leaves them with a 14-10 record in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>The game\u2019s four quarters ended as follows: 15-30, 31-48, 58-67, 73-90.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Game Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paris: Sorch 15, Ify 19 (3 three-pointers), Shortz 15, Ward 10, Hayes 11, Malcolm 4, Lo 3 (1), and others.<\/li>\n<li>Olympiacos: Vezenkov 23 (3 three-pointers), Fournier 18 (3 three-pointers), Williams-Goss 14 (2 three-pointers), Larenzakis 10 (3 three-pointers), Milutinov 10, Peters 5, and others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With this impressive win, Olympiacos continues to assert their dominance at the top of the Euroleague, with eyes set on securing a strong position as the playoffs approach.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"article-tags entry-footer\">\n<div>\n<strong>Tags:<\/strong><br \/>\n2025 Euroleague, basketball, EuroLeague, EuroLeague victory, Evan Fournier, Fenerbahce, Giannoulis Larenzakis, Giorgos Bartzokas, Greece, Greece news, Greek news, Monaco, Nadir Ify, Nigel Williams-Goss, Nikola Milutinov, Olympiacos, Olympiacos top, Olympiacos win, panathinaikos, Paris, Paris basketball, Paris defeat, Piraeus, Sasha Vezenkov, T.J.
