CSKA leads Olympiacos from tipoff to buzzer to stay perfect
81-75 the final score
The last undefeated team left standing in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague is none other than CSKA Moscow after a 75-81 road victory over Olympiacos Piraeus in the Game of the Week on Thursday in which the champs led from the opening tip to the final buzzer. The score was deceptive as CSKA's lead was 10 points or higher from the second quarter till the last couple of minutes. And even when Olympiacos came close at the end, Nando De Colo was on hand with a big shot for the champs. CSKA is 5-0 and broke the three-game winning streak of Olympiacos, whose record dropped to 3-2. De Colo, last season's MVP, paced the winners with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Aaron Jackson and Kyle Hines scored 13 each, Andrey Vorontsevich 11 and Milos Teodosic 10 for the winners. Georgios Printezis was the big gun for Olympiacos with 26 points and 7 rebounds, while Vassilis Spanoulis scored 14 and Khem Birch 10.
