Sasha Vezenkov leads Olympiacos Piraeus B.c. past FC Barcelona with 25
Sasha Vezenkov finished with 25 points, 6 rebounds and an immaculate 10-for-10 from the free-throw line in 31 minutes as Olympiacos Piraeus stole a 105–100 road win over Barcelona in the EuroLeague regular season. The Bulgarian forward's shooting was the difference. He went 7-for-9 from the floor overall, including 1-for-2 from three, but it was his composure at the line that sealed it—ten consecutive makes when the game was tightest. He did not commit a single turnover or foul, a rarity at this level and a mark of controlled, efficient play. Barcelona fought to the end but could not find the answer once Vezenkov got hot. The five-point margin was tight, but Olympiacos' visiting discipline and Vezenkov's precision execution made the difference in a game that turned on execution in the final stretches.
