Olympiacos Team News
More complex than the result suggests, Olympiacos defeated Fenerbahçe 79:68 in the first game of the Euroleague quarterfinals. Defensively, they were up to the task, but in offense, they were utterly dependent on the three-point shot, and if it didn’t work, who knows what would have happened at the end of the match.
Olympiacos finished the first duel in the series with 16 three points scored from 29 attempts. The match was decided by Isaiah Canaan, who scored five three-pointers in the third period and finished the game with 18 points. Sasha Vezenkov was at MVP level, while Shaq McKissic dominated in the last quarter. Moustapha Fall had an important role and dominated under the hoops. For a good result in match number two, it will be necessary for Kostas Sloukas or Kostas Papanikolaou to contribute to the offense.
Olympiacos is aware that they will not score 16 three-pointers every time. They must respond to the toughness of Dyshawn Pierre and Nigel Hayes-Davisai, and the fights in the low post will be crucial this time.

Fenerbahce Team News
Fenerbahce played a solid match in Piraeus on Wednesday, but they had a couple of black minutes that decided the game. The ball was moving too slowly in the offense, so they finished the game with only 68 points.
Although he traveled to Piraeus, Scottie Wilbekin did not play. We will likely see him on the floor in game number two. Fenerbahce’s problems without him are unsolvable because no one can speed up the offense. At the end of the match, coach Dimitris Itoudis gave minutes to Carsen Edwards and Melih Mahmutoglu. It will be necessary for him to expand the rotation because it is impossible to make a better result with the recent game he is forcing. Nick Calathes’ shot was terrible again, and Tyler Dorsey did more harm than good.
Coach Itoudis has never lost a Euroleague playoff series in his career. If Fenerbahçe is 0-2 after game number two, it is doubtful they will turn and advance to the Final Four. In the first half of the first match, they showed they could handle Olympiacos, but they must have focused for 40 minutes this time.
