Barcelona hosts Olympiacos at home in Game 5 of the Euroleague playoffs. There have been some pretty interesting and exciting matches in this series, some with the players in the middle of attention, some with the officials, but all this doesn’t matter now because everything came down to tonight’s 40 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barca managed to take a break right away in Game 3, but instead of pushing the rivals even harder in the next one, they collapsed, allowing one of the worst defeats this year, 92-58. Still, their home-court edge will give them an advantage in the final meeting of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former NBA star Jabari Parker leads Barca in scoring in these playoffs, delivering 15 points per game and 5.8 boards. He was the key to success in winning in Athens, hitting the points from the free-throw line in the last seconds and leading Blaugrana to the win. Willy Hernangomez adds 10.5 points with 4.8 rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
