Olympiacos came back from a 19-point deficit to defeat Peristeri 92 – 69 and capture its ninth victory in 10 games of the Greek League regular season.

Peristeri had taken a 19 – 38 lead in the first half but then Axel Toupane began firing triples to help Olympiacos reduce that deficit and close halftime down by six, 42 – 48. The Reds stormed into the game after the break with 16 points in five minutes to go up 58 – 52. They kept dominating and with ten minutes remaining the score was 74 – 58. There was no turning back from that margin for Peristeri and Olympiacos cruised to the win.

Toupane finished with 17 points while Vassilis Spanoulis scored 14 and Zach Leday 12 for Olympiacos.
