Olympiacos continued their dominant run in the quarter-final series, now just one win away from securing a spot in the Final Four, set to be held in Athens.

Novak Djokovic was among those witnessing the Reds' dominance live, joined by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Sasha Vezenkov once again led the scoring with 21 points, Evan Fournier added 13, and Thomas Walkup also reached double digits. Nikola Milutinov struggled with foul trouble from the start, finishing with just four points and four rebounds, yet the Greek team still triumphed, even with only two points from Tyler Dorsey.

For Monaco, Kevarrius Hayes scored 11 points, Alpha Diallo had 10, and Nemanja Nedovic contributed four. Mike James ended the game with seven points, four rebounds, and three assists, but was ejected late in the first half.

With just eight seconds left before the break, James received a technical foul, followed by another, after making a money gesture towards the referees, who promptly sent him to the locker room. However, this incident had little impact on the outcome.

By then, the home team already held an incredible +28 lead (59:31). Monaco managed to stabilize in the second half, at one point narrowing the deficit to just 16 points (72:56), but Olympiacos responded with another 15-0 run, ultimately cruising to a 94:64 victory.

The third game of the series, which Monaco must win to keep their Final Four hopes alive, is scheduled for May 5th.
