In the first of this week's two EuroLeague games at the WiZink Center, Real Madrid was unable to defeat Olympiacos. After a closely contested match in which Chus Mateo's team had maintained an advantage for significant stretches, both teams entered the decisive stages with everything to play for. The hosts had just three seconds to respond after a basket by Sloukas, but Taveres' attempt was off-target, giving the visitors the victory.

Musa led the madridista attack with 17 points, followed by Llull and Tavares, with 14 each and Yabusele, with 13. A minute’s silence was held before the game in memory of former madridista Francisco Capel.

Another demanding game coming up against Red Star in less than 48 hours on the fourth round of the EuroLeague (8:45pm CET).
