Sasha Vezenkov leads Olympiacos Piraeus past Armani Olimpia Milan with 23
Sasha Vezenkov's 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting carried Olympiacos Piraeus past Armani Olimpia Milan 84–78 at home, a six-point margin decided by the efficiency gap between the two sides' leading scorers. Vezenkov's work in 32 minutes was straightforward and effective: he hit from mid-range and the paint, converting 4 of 6 free throws while adding 4 rebounds and keeping turnovers to two. He misfired on four three-point attempts and didn't force the issue from distance, instead staying within the geometry of what the defense gave him. That discipline — 66 percent accuracy overall — separated this performance from a night when Milan fought hard but couldn't match Olympiacos's execution down the stretch. The Bulgarian forward's consistency on the floor was the difference. Milan kept pace through most of the game, but Vezenkov's steady hand in the final frame proved too reliable for the visiting side to overcome.
