<a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/daniel-hackett-euroleague-mvp-of-the-week/" title="Daniel Hackett, EuroLeague MVP of the Week”>Olympiacos dominates against Olimpia Milano in Piraeus in the third round of the EuroLeague and wins 89-68. The Milanese team approached the match very badly, immediately falling behind by 10 points, but managed to react and also found the advantage, only to then continue to never score a two-point basket. In the first half, Olympiacos accumulated a 12-point lead, with Shavon Shields and Nikola Mirotic simply not reaching the attack, to which Dimitrijevic had difficulties finding the basket.
In the second half, a burst from Pippo Ricci and a basket each from Shields and Mirotic seemed to be able to reopen the match, but Olympiacos did well not to lose clarity and immediately regained control. Olimpia Milano experiences very few positive moments this evening, always at the mercy of their opponents apart from a few small flashes of competition. The punishment is heavy: today the Milanese team cannot ignore its offensive leaders. Appointment on Thursday, against Zalgiris, in a match not to be missed.
