Former Galil Player Carr Hits Buzzer-Beater to Upset Olympiacos

Virtus Bologna secured a dramatic 96-94 victory over reigning European champions Olympiacos in a thrilling EuroLeague matchup on Thursday. The game, part of the third round of the EuroLeague season, was decided in the final seconds when former Galil Elyon player Marcus Carr sank a game-winning three-pointer as the buzzer sounded.

Carr was a standout performer for Bologna, scoring 8 points in the first quarter, while Tyler Dorsey contributed 15 points with a perfect 5-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc. The game remained close throughout, with Olympiacos leading by one point at halftime, 50-49. Bologna took control in the third quarter, ending it with a five-point advantage.

In the final quarter, Ambaie Ndiaye was dominant for Bologna, scoring 19 points and hitting what appeared to be a game-winning basket with just five seconds left. However, Carr's clutch shot ultimately sealed the win for the home team. This marks Bologna's first win of the season after two losses, while Olympiacos suffered their first defeat.

In another EuroLeague game, Crvena Zvezda defeated Anadolu Efes 77-72. The match was overshadowed by a serious Achilles tendon injury to Crvena Zvezda's Mike James, which puts his season in jeopardy. Chima Moneke led Crvena Zvezda with 18 points and 6 rebounds, supported by Jordan Navarro's 12 points. Jordan Loyd scored 15 points for the losing side.
