The victory, Baskonia’s second in a row in the top continental competition and achieved on the field of the current runner-up, has enormous value. It places the Alava squad provisionally in tenth position in the Euroleague, with three games won and four lost, and represents a good dose of confidence for the team, which is trying to get back on its feet after a difficult month of October. Furthermore, as it happened, in the last breath, he knows even better.

Baskonia did not enter the game well, which, in the first quarter, they were up to eleven points behind on the scoreboard, at 13-2 and at 20-9, but Ivanovic’s team knew how to react and at the end of those first ten minutes Olympiacos led by six (26-20) . It seemed that the Vitorian team was getting the pulse of the clash, and the second quarter has only confirmed that feeling: Baskonia has not taken long to equalize at 26, they have immediately taken the lead, and then, until the break, they have given a display of good basketball, which has given them an advantage of up to 18 points, at 32-50.

The partial was then 6-30 in the second period, and, although it was cut short by a triple from the Piraeus team, the score at intermission, 35-50, certainly invited optimism. Chima Moneke, with eleven points, led Baskonia’s offense, and Tadas Sedekerskis, author of eight points and eight rebounds, was having a great game, both in defense and attack.

Olympiacos has responded in the third quarter, with a partial score of 25-17, which left Baskonia’s lead at seven points with the fourth and final period remaining (the result was 60-67). Isaiah Canaan and Alec Peters, with 21 and 19 points with ten minutes left to play, were the main threats of the local team, which, pushed by its fans, managed to adjust the score. The ball was, however, in the court of Ivanovic’s team, who continued to control the match.

Nerves and tension have presided the final stretch of the crash, in which Baskonia has suffered a lot to be able to materialize the superiority it had shown until then. Those coached by Bartzokas have maintained their pressure, and have managed to take the lead, at 72-71, with two and a half minutes remaining. Moneke made it 72-73, and a block by Matt Costello left Baskonia in a good position with a minute left, but the Greek squad, with 74-73, had victory in their hands. Then, with just seven tenths left to play, Miller-McIntyre scored the shot that sealed the match.
