The visitors opened hot from beyond the arc, drilling seven consecutive three-pointers in the first quarter. Dorsey’s early shooting spree pushed Olympiacos ahead 15-26, and the Greeks carried a 19-29 advantage after 10 minutes.
Sergio Llull and Hezonja helped cut into the deficit before halftime, but Vezenkov’s scoring run kept Olympiacos in front 47-53 at the break. Real trailed by as many as nine before Campazzo and Okeke fueled a late push.
Momentum shifted in the third quarter when Hezonja tied the game at 57-57 with a three-pointer. Still, Olympiacos held a 64-69 lead entering the final period after Milutinov and Vezenkov answered inside.
The turning point came early in the fourth quarter. Deck’s tip-in tied the contest at 69-69, and Usman Garuba, Andres Feliz, and Walter Tavares powered an 11-0 run. Olympiacos went scoreless for six minutes, allowing Madrid to take control.
Campazzo’s late playmaking sealed the win. He finished with 9 points and 8 assists, while Tavares added 7 points, 4 rebounds, and key rim protection. Madrid’s defense limited the visitors to just 8 points in the fourth quarter after conceding 69 through the first three.
