Crvena zvezda mts made strong resistance to mighty Olympiacos on the road, but the Belgrade crew still got defeated in Piraeus in the match of the EuroLeague Round 13.
It must be mentioned that Crvena zvezda mts have once again showed a very good defensive performance, but the truth is that Olympiacos' defense was even better today. The Greek powerhouse closed all the ways toward its rim in the crucial moments of the match, while on top of that the players of Crvena zvezda mts did not really had the best shooting night.
It is enough to write that the visitors made only 2 three-pointers for the entire game. That is just not enough to beat one of the best teams in Europe.
Olympiacos have controlled the match from the beginning to the end and picked up an important victory.
