Sasha Vezenkov finished with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals in 34 minutes, but it was not enough to prevent Olympiacos Piraeus from falling 57–62 at home to Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade. The Bulgarian forward was the game's leading scorer on 11-of-21 shooting, including 3-of-10 from three. He made 2 of 3 free throws and committed only 2 turnovers. His defensive activity—three steals—underlined a shift in focus for Olympiacos in the closing stages, yet Belgrade's discipline held firm over the final minutes. The five-point defeat leaves little margin for error in a tightly wound EuroLeague regular season. Vezenkov's individual efficiency was not in question; the shortfall lay elsewhere on the floor.
