Dorsey’s 37 Points Lift Olympiacos Over Real Madrid in EuroLeague

The blow dented Madrid’s tiebreak edge, raising the stakes for Thursday’s trip to Fenerbahçe.

Overview

  • Olympiacos, which beat Real Madrid in Piraeus on Tuesday, controlled the game from the start with a settled group under coach Giorgos Bartzokas.
  • Tyler Dorsey poured in 37 points on 7-of-11 shooting from deep, and Giorgos Vezenkov added 24 in a career-best showcase for the guard.
  • The defeat erased Madrid’s 12-point head-to-head margin against Olympiacos, a point-difference tiebreaker that can decide playoff seeding.
  • Real Madrid dropped to 22-14 and slipped from the top three, with coach Sergio Scariolo noting recurring road defense issues this season.
  • Scariolo praised Dorsey and Vezenkov and said the team must regroup before visiting Fenerbahçe on Thursday to keep home-court hopes on track.
