Metu rejects Blosomgame! Motorola Magic Moment
Punter and Milutinov exchanged buckets before the former netted a layup for a 2-4 Barcelona lead. Fournier opened his account in penetration, but Jabari Parker hit in transition before netting a midrange jumper to make it 4-8. Then, Vezenkov made 3 of 3 from the line, but 3 points from Juan Nunez allowed Barcelona to maintain a 7-11 lead. Yet, Olympiacos reacted, with 4 points from Vezenkov and a McKissic slam putting the hosts in front, 13-11. Then, Metu opened his account with a triple, but Moses Wright produced back-to-back dunks and McKissic took his tally to 6 points for a 21-17 lead after 10 minutes.
McKissic completed a three-point play to start the second quarter, but Tomas Satoransky nailed one of his own and Dario Brizuela netted a layup to bring Barcelona within 25-22. Yet, Olympiacos reacted, with Alec Peters drilling a triple before Milutinov sank a step-back jumper to extend its lead to 30-22. Justin Anderson and Hernangomez scored from inside, but Tyler Dorsey sank a triple that was followed by a Walkup floater to make it 37-26. Barcelona fought back, with Punter netting 5 points and Parker nailing a corner triple to trim the deficit to 41-36. But Dorsey buried one of his own to beat the second-quarter buzzer for a 44-36 Olympiacos cushion at halftime.
The two teams went scoreless in the first 2 and a half minutes, before Vesely netted an off-balance jumper, 44-38. It took Olympiacos 4 and a half minutes to net its first field goal through Fournier before Metu cut the difference to 46-40. Then, 8 points from Fournier and a Vezenkov bucket restored a 56-42 lead for the hosts. Buckets from Dario Brizuela and Hernangomez sandwiched a Kostas Papanikolaou triple before a Vezenkov basket made it 61-46. Back-to-back Hernangomez baskets were followed by 2 free throws made by Nigel Williams-Goss for a 65-50 cushion after 30 minutes.
Neither side scored a field goal in the first 2 minutes of the closing quarter before a triple from Vezenkov extended Olympiacos’ lead to 70-50. Barcelona reacted, as Anderson completed a three-point play and Parker netted a layup to trim the deficit to 70-55. But a Fall bucket and a triple from Walkup allowed Olympiacos to maintain a 20-point lead. Vesely responded to another Walkup three-pointer with a jumper, but Dorsey and Fournier nailed one each from the perimeter to make it 85-60 and practically finished the game off.
