Date: March 23, 2012
Olympiakos exploded in the last ten minutes of the game, but that was not enough as Bo McCalebb made a crucial steal in the finish and dribbled out the clock to send his team to Greece next week with a victory in hand. Montepaschi celebrated 81-80 win and tied the series to 1-1. Next two games will be played in Greece. McCalebb top-scored in victory with 21 points. Ksistof Lavrinovic followed him with 18 points and 6 rebounds, while Igor Rakocevic and David Andersen (6 rebs) netted 13 and 12 points respectively. The Reds got 15 points and 6 boards from Georgios Printezis. Acie Law (5 as) and Pero Antic (5 rebs) scored 11 points each. Quarters: 22-18, 26-17, 19-18, 14-27. Montepaschi had 67-53 lead after 30 minutes of play. - With memories of their comeback from 10 down in the fourth quarter of Game 1, the Reds got this one going good, too, as Dorsey put back an offensive rebound and Law dropped a lane jumper to make it 67-57. Rakocevic drove to end a two-minute scoring drought by Siena, but Law quickly answered with his own basket. Lavrinovic settled the hosts with a jump hook only to see Kostas Papanikolaou better him from downtown, making it 71-62. Rakocevic connected with Lavrinovic on the next play, but a rebounding miscue let Dorsey score and draw Lavrinovic's fourth foul. Out of a timeout, Printezis buried 2 free throws and a short jumper, and suddenly, it was 73-69 with under 4 minutes to play. Almost 2 tense minutes passed until Andersen got the free throw line and hit both tries, for a 75-69 score, but Law fed Hines on the two-minute mark to make it a two-possession game again. After a shot-clock violation by Siena, Printezis fed Hines for an open layup, but he missed the extra free throw. At 75-73, Moss slipped but somehow got the ball to Andersen, who was fouled and made 2 of 2 free throws again. At 46 seconds, Law completed a three-point play after backing down McCalebb, for a one-point difference, 77-76. McCalebb's drive 20 seconds later yielded 2 perfect free throws, although the second bounced in. Spanoulis hit 2 free throws at 79-78 with 17 seconds left, after which Olympiacos immediately fouled McCalebb. He made the first, missed the second, but when Stonerook grabbed the rebound, Siena was able to take more seconds off the clock until Andersen made 1 of 2 for an 81-78 lead with 9 seconds left. Printezis was fouled and made both with 7 seconds left and an 81-80 scoreboard. Now, Rakocevic went to the line and missed both shots with 5.8 seconds left. The rebound was grabbed by Olympiacos, but as Printezis came across halfcourt with the ball, McCalebb stole the ball from behind and dribbled out the clock to send his team to Greece next week with a victory in hand. *Courtesy of Euroleague - Teams will meet again next Wednesday. Game Four is scheduled for Friday.
