Alexander Vezenkov won his first trophy after returning to the Greek giant Olympiakos. The Bulgarian was largely responsible for the team's triumph over arch-rival Panathinaikos in the dispute for the country's Super Cup with a dramatic 86:85.
Bulgaria's best basketball player finished with 20 points, 15 of which came in the second half. In 32 minutes on the floor, he also added 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. Tyler Dorsey helped Vezenkov with his 19 points, and Filip Petrusev had 18 points and 8 rebounds.
For PAO, Marius Grigonis scored 19 points - Kostas Sloukas scored one less, and Kendrick Nunn finished with 15.
Vezenkov was also chosen as the Most Valuable Player of the Super Cup tournament. The Bulgarian international also picked up the award for Top Scorer in the competition, which was won by Olympiakos for the third time in a row.
After the game, the Bulgarian basketball player, who returned to Greece after a one-year stay in the NBA, wished that Olympiakos and Panathinaikos would also meet in the Euroleague final. | BGNES
