Olympiacos got the 77-73 win over Rethimnon Creta Kings and for the ninth season in a row managed to qualify to the Greek league semifinals with a 2-0 sweep.
Depite the final four points difference, Olympiacos after a bad first half got a 19 points lead (61-42) in the 29th minute thanks to Vasilis Spanoulis who returned to action, Vangelis Mantzaris and Hakim Warrick who had his best game yet with the Reds (17 p., 6 r.). The hosts managed to cut the final point difference, but with 19 seconds left, they missed the shot which may have got Olympiacos in trouble.
Spanoulis scored 14 points, Mantzaris had 4 points and 7 assists, while Ioannis Papapetrou and Othello Hunter scored 11 points each. Ryan Harrow with 17 points was the top scorer of the hosts. Olympiacos will face the winner of the series between AEK and PAOK in the semifinals, which is currently tied at 1-1 after two breaks.
