The Reds reached the 100-point mark for the fourth game in a row across all competitions, with Vezenkov scoring at least 24 points in five consecutive EuroLeague games.
In that stretch, the Olympiacos forward has shot 29-for-39 from inside the arc and 16-for-25 from beyond the arc, constantly terrorizing opposing defenses. Simply put, he’s inevitable.
“For one more game, we showed that our potential, our ceiling is too high, scoring 100 points again without having any crazy percentages,” head coach Georgios Bartzokas said in the post-game press conference.
Maccabi bounced back in the second half, outscoring Olympiacos 42-59, but the hosts were in control of the game throughout. Having grabbed its sixth win in seven games, the Reds have opened the double-round week as they hoped and will look to double their victories by beating Anadolu Efes Istanbul on Thursday.
However, it should be noted that Olympiacos hasn’t won at Efes since December 2017, meaning that the Turkish side will push for its eighth straight home win over the Reds.
To do so, they will need to succeed where many teams have fallen short lately: contain a red-hot Vezenkov who shows no sign of slowing down in 2026.
