Telling numbers: Stellar shooting propelled Olympiacos
The Greek team improved to 16-9 for the season, two wins better than its nearest challenger, by shooting a remarkable 26-of-34 two-point attempts for a 76.5% conversion rate. That was the second-highest two-point rate for Olympiacos in its 544 EuroLeague games this century.

That's wasn't all, however, because Olympiacos also made a more-than-solid 9-of-19 from three-point range (47.4%), and an acceptable 19-of-25 (76%) from the foul line.
Several players stood out with near-perfect shooting nights, including Hassan Martin who came off the bench to score all 6 of his two-point attempts and 2 of his 3 free throws. Another key contribution came from Giannoulis Larentzakis with a perfect 3-of-3 from three-point range, while Kostas Sloukas was also perfect from inside the arc (5-of-5). Tyler Dorsey hit 8-of-10 from the field in his game-high 25 points, Sasha Vezenkov made 6 of his 9 field goal attempts, and Moustapha Fall went 3-for-5 from the field while also making all 4 of his free throws.
