Olympiacos Comfortably Beat Peristeri

Olympiacos beat Peristeri 91-62 in the Greek Basketball League and won all of their first five matches of the season. The home side maintained control throughout the game and at one point built a 37-point lead over their opponent. When the score reached 71-34, the match was fully in Olympiacos' hands.

The team took the court without Evan Fournier, Jean Montero and the suspended Tyler Dorsey. Even so, they showed their squad depth. Corey Joseph scored 12 points and was the most prominent player in the win.

With this victory, Olympiacos remain second in the league. The club starts with a 2-point deduction due to incidents at the final of last season. The same penalty was also applied to Panathinaikos.

PAOK sit at the top of the table. PAOK won away at Iraklis 63-53 and have won all of their matches. Newly promoted Vikos Falkons caused a major surprise by beating AEK 95-84.

The most anticipated match of the round will be played between Aris and Panathinaikos. The result of that game could also affect the balance among the teams near the top of the league.
