BELGRADE, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Holders Real Madrid produced their best Euroleague performance of the season to sink Olympiakos Piraeus 84-72 on Thursday in a repeat of last season's final to boost their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
In the day's other games, six-time winners CSKA Moscow strolled to a 91-70 home defeat of German side Bamberg and Fenerbahce Istanbul beat Croatians Cedevita Zagreb 86-73.
The match in Madrid produced almost a carbon copy of May's title showdown, when Real celebrated a record-extending ninth title with a 78-59 victory.
Olympiakos again held their own in the opening quarter before Real found another gear and prevailed thanks to solid long-range shooting.
