In a roller-coaster game that went down to the wire, Paris Basketball came up with yet another shocker, beating Olympiacos Piraeus 90-96 on Friday night at a sold-out Peace and Friendship Stadium. It is a 10th consecutive win for Paris, which improved to a league-best 11-3 record, while Olympiacos dropped to 9-5 on the season after suffering its first home defeat.
Paris controlled the game from the get-go, then pulled away late in the third and in the fourth quarter, opening a 60-80 lead, only for Olympiacos to respond with a majestic 22-0 run. But Nadir Hifi, TJ Shorts and Maodo Lo hit a three-pointer apiece to secure another win for the league leaders. Shorts led the winners with 21 points and 8 assists, Hifi had 20 points and Tyson Ward scored 14. Evan Fournier paced Olympiacos with 25 points, Sasha Vezenkov netted 18, Nigel Williams-Goss had 12 and Shaquielle McKissic finished with 10 points in a losing effort.

Mikael Jantunen: 'This was the most physical battle we've had so far'
Kevarrius Hayes and Shorts set the tone in the early going, before back-to-back triples from Hifi and Bandja Sy opened 5-13 lead. Fournier and Vezenkov got Olympiacos back on track, with Fournier's four-point play capping an 8-0 run to tie the game. The two teams traded buckets in the remainer of the first quarter, and the score was tied at 21-21 after 10 minutes.
Shorts was the engine for Paris at the start of the second, scoring 5 points to make it 23-30. Williams-Goss had a pair of baskets at the rim, and Luca Vildoza knocked down a second-chance triple to help make it a 1-point game, 31-32. A basket from McKissic and a triple from Tyler Dorsey tied the score at 36-36, but Lo answered with a triple that started a strong finish to the quarter from Paris. Ward hit a three-pointer and Yakuba Ouattara took it to the rim to open an 8-point lead before Thomas Walkup finished the half with a three-pointer to ensure it was 44-49 at the interval.
Paris continued its charge in the third quarter, with Ouattara, Shorts, Hayes and Ward all scoring layups to open the visitors' first double-digit lead of the night, 47-57. A triple from Collin Malcolm, then a second-chance three from Hifi opened a 49-65 margin after 5 minutes in the third quarter. Nikola Milutinov's presence in the paint and some trademark energy from McKissic gave a spark to Olympiacos, which scored the next 5 points, but Shorts took one to the rim past Milutinov and Ouattara knocked down a corner three to help make it 60-73 after 30 minutes.
Ward's triple and the easiest of layups set up by Shorts opened 60-78 with 7:41 to play. A layup from Hayes increased the margin to 20 points. Olympiacos needed more than 3 minutes to score in the fourth, a triple from Fournier, but that sparked a 22-0 run behind some incredible defense by Olympiacos. It was a run in which Fournier and Williams-Goss had the first 15 points, then Peters hit a transition triple and Vildoza a fast-break layup to tie it at 80-80. Free throws from Williams-Goss gave Olympiacos its only lead with 3:11 to go. Hifi snapped the run with a tough three-pointer, and Shorts followed it up with a triple of his own, 82-86. Olympiacos tied it after a layup from Williams-Goss going into the final minute, and the Reds had another possession, but Paris made a defensive stand and Lo hit a transition triple with 20 seconds to go to open an 86-89 margin, giving Paris a lead it never relinquished. Fournier hit a three-pointer (90-91), but Mikael Jantunen and Lo sealed the deal.
