Real Madrid hosted Anadolu Efes Istanbul and get beaten ugly 83-108 on Tuesday night. The hosts led 42-41 at halftime, but Efes needed just a quarter and a half to score 56 points and get a well-deserved win on the road victory. Sertac Sanli finished as Efes's top scorer with 17 points in 18 minutes. Shane Larkin scored 16 points, Simon added another 15 points and for yet another game Vasilije Micic was exceptional scoring  13 points and dishing 6 assists. For the visitors, Rodrigue Beaubois also scores 12 points, Chris Singleton offered another 11 and, Bryant Dunston added 10 more.

Real has been struggling lately, and their place in the playoffs is not ensured yet. They need this win that would certainly help them to feel more certain. A defeat tonight might prove eventually fatal. Starting from defense they have to find a way to stop Olympiacos' most aggressive players lately. Sasha Vezenkov and Kostas Sloukas. Putting them out of the game must be the main goal of Real. And for another night to take the most they can from Tavares.

Olympiacos got a much-deserved win 79-88 on the road against Valencia at La Fonteta on Wednesday. Olympiacos led 19-23 after 10 minutes, extended its margin to 31-44 at halftime, and then again 41-74 at the end of the third quarter. And just when everything looked settled, valencia launched a counterattack but only they could do was to come close to six points and nothing more. Vezenkov and Vassilis Spanoulis made sure Olympiacos would no longer be threatened and take their ninth win on the road this season.

The overall record in Euroleague since 2000, is Real Madrid - Olympiacos 17 - 14.
