Valencia Basket cannot beat Olympiacos at La Fonteta (85-92)

24/02/2023

Valencia Basket was unable to break their particular curse against Olympiacos Piraeus and fell at Fonteta by 85-92 in a game where the taronja squad dominated the first half but were overwhelmed by the solidity of the leader in the second half. The Taronja team surprised at the start of the game with a great rhythm and although Olympiacos returned that initial run, they stretched it again to go ahead by ten points at halftime. After the break, Walkup ignited the Greek offense and the visitors' defense stopped the taronja’s offense to take the lead and get an important advantage with the three pointers made in the final stretch of the third quarter. Valencia Basket tried everything to come back clinging to the outside accuracy of Prepelic (21 points), but Vezenkov and Sloukas defended the Greek lead until the end.
