When Kostas Sloukas opened the fourth quarter with his fifth three-pointer in as many attempts, the difference opened to 64-81 and Khimki never recovered.

Record-tying night
Olympiacos scored more than 100 points in a non-overtime game for the first time in just over seven years and tied the club record for the most points scored in a EuroLeague road game this century. The Reds also tied their club record with 16 three-pointers on 29 attempts, which came just a week after they had scored 15 triples in a road loss against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul.

Shved's milestone
Alexey Shved opened his scoring for the night with a pair of free throws to reach the 2,500-point plateau for his EuroLeague career, something that just 15 players have accomplished before him. He has done it in 153 games. With 22 points in this contest, Shved now sits at 2,520 all-time for his career.

Khimki legend shines
Khimki's second-longest tenured player, Egor Vialtsev, had made only one appearance since Round 4 and entered this game with 16 points on the season. But he was a big reason Khimki kept close for two and a half quarters as he made his first 6 field goals, including his first 5 three-point attempts. He finished with 17 points on 5-for-6 accuracy from long range, which were the second-most points he has scored in a EuroLeague game.

Next up
Khimki and Olympiacos are done competing for this calendar year. Both will again be in action in Round 18 next Friday, when Khimki goes on the road to play Zalgiris Kaunas while Olympiacos will host FC Bayern Munich the same night.
