Olympiacos Overwhelms Monaco Behind Vezenkov's Scoring
Sasha Vezenkov ignited Olympiacos to a commanding 91-70 victory over Monaco, as the Greek side seized control in the second quarter and never relinquished it. Holding a nine-point lead at halftime (45-36), Olympiacos extended their advantage to 15 entering the final period, dictating the game's tempo with 51% shooting from the field (35/68) and a significant boost from their bench, which outscored Monaco's reserves 42-20. Despite Mike James' 19 points and 7 assists, Olympiacos' collective effort proved too much for Monaco. Nikola Milutinov delivered a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Cory Joseph added 13 points off the bench. Monaco struggled mightily from beyond the arc, converting just 4 of 28 three-point attempts (14%), and Alpha Diallo's 15 points and 4 steals were not enough to bridge the gap. This win solidifies Olympiacos' standing as they push towards the postseason.
