Olympiakos upset at home by Siena

Olympiakos were a shadow of the team that had thrashed Siena by
48 points just a couple of days earlier, going down 82-65 in Piraeus to the Italian champions.

The Reds led 12-10 only to surrender their lead for good (12-22) as the Italians advanced 39-31 at half-time.

The visitors had clearly got over the shock of their mauling on Tuesday and stretched their advantage as the game went on to end up winning by 17 points.

Tied at 1-1, the series is now moving to Italy for Games 3 and 4.

Coach Dusan Ivkovic said Olympiakos can get an away win at Siena and regain home advantage so as to win the series and make the final-four, while Costas Papanikolaou said Olympiakos can win both games the following week.
