Olympiakos suffered its first Euroleague loss of the season going down 89-70 at Laboral Kutxa, although the Greek team remains the favourite to clinch the top spot in its pool.

The Basques were ahead throughout the match, advancing 24-17 after the first quarter and 44-37 at half-time, but it was the partial 22-9 score during the third period that decided the game for Laboral.

The third period ended with a 16-point margin (68-52) for the host as Olympiakos had a bad night both in defence and in attack.

The players of coach Yiannis Sfairopoulos were unable to turn things around as the spread grew to 21 points toward the end (87-66).

On Tuesday PAOK lost 84-77 at Zielona Gora for the Eurocup.
