However, the Greeks did not give up and announced a comeback with a 6:0 run at the start of the third quarter. Real had no answer on offense, and the Spaniards went almost five minutes without scoring.

In the 27th minute, when Olympiacos closed the gap to -12 (63:51), Musa hit an important three-pointer and then drew a foul on defense.

But even that didn't help the Kings. In the 39th minute, Musa missed a three-point shot, and Peters scored to make it -10 (66:56).

Then Sergio Llull entered the game, hit a shot from "the parking lot" (long distance), and brought some peace to the Spanish team.

However, it wasn't over yet. In the 34th minute, the Greeks reduced the deficit to single digits (76:67). But that wasn't enough for the Greek team, and Real secured the victory with a score of 87:76.

Džanan Musa was the most effective player for Real with 20 points, along with three rebounds and two assists. Alec Peters was the most effective for Olympiacos with 23 points scored.
