Olympiacos beat Olimpia Milano 84-78 in a EuroLeague game in Athens.

The Italian team, coached by Peppe Poeta, had also lost to Panathinaikos three days earlier.

Olympiacos are the reigning EuroLeague champions, and the game was played at the Sunel Arena, its temporary home venue while its usual arena undergoes renovation.

Milano fought back from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter and came within two points, but could not tie or take the lead.

Cody Miller-McIntyre scored 24 points and Sasha Vezenkov added 23 for Olympiacos, while RJ Cole led Milano with 17.

Milano have lost eight of nine games and remain at the bottom of the standings, level with Baskonia.

We face the European champions on their court, with everything that means. In the last two games we had the right mental and physical approach, but now we have to try to capitalise on the many improvements shown by trying to finish games better as well as having continuity for all 40 minutes.
