Fenerbahce shock Reds at home

Olympiakos suffered a crushing 84-70 home defeat to Fenerbahce Ulker in their first Group H game of the Top 16 phase of the Europleague on Thursday night.
In an error-strewn match, the Reds kept it tight until the final period but the visitors had too much firepower for Olympiakos, who suffered their
first home defeat after 20 matches.
Marko Tomas paced the winners with 19 points. Roko Ukic added 17 while Omer Onan had 14 for FB Ulker. Theo Papaloukas led Olympiacos with 15 points. Vassilis Spanoulis added 14 while Zoran Erceg had 10 for the Reds.
All eyes were on Sarunas Jasikevicius, the former Panathinaikos star returning to Greece with Fenerbhace, but he had a low key night, scoring only five points.
"This is a big shock for the players," said Reds coach Dusan Ivkovic. "It's a very negative result that we have to get over as soon possible. We have five more games to go and we will have to be prepared."
Olympiakos travel to Zalgiris Kaunas for their second game.
