A week on from winning in the Top 16 for the first time in their history, ending a 21-game losing streak, the German side recorded a shock 77-72 win in Greece.

Darius Miller led the way with 23 points for Brose, who opened up a 24-point lead in the third quarter before Olympiacos came on strong to set up a tense finale.

Olympiacos' defeat means Fenerbahce Ulker are the only unbeaten team in the Top 16 after three rounds.

Elsewhere in Group F on Friday, Felipe Reyes enjoyed a landmark night as Real Madrid edged out Zalgiris 92-86, who were under the leadership of Sarunas Jasikevicius for the first time.
