Olympiacos took the first of the three steps needed to qualify for the Final Four in Athens tonight at the packed SEF. The ‘reds’ comfortably defeated Monaco 91-70 in their first Euroleague playoff game, making it 1-0 in the series. Now the Piraeus team will look for a 2-0 win next Thursday (4/30), again in the Peace and Friendship Stadium, before the series moves to the Principality.

The quarters: 19-20, 45-36, 66-51, 91-70
