Match Preview
The Basket League Finals move back to Piraeus with the series tied at 1-1. Olympiakos dominated large stretches of the opener before Panathinaikos responded with a strong defensive display in Athens, setting up another tense battle between the eternal rivals.
Exhausting Weeks for Olympiakos
Olympiakos made a strong start in the finals opener last week, taking a 12-point lead into halftime before securing an 82-76 victory. Evan Fournier was the top scorer with 20 points, while Nikola Milutinov recorded a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
However, their shooting was disastrous in Game 2 at OAKA, converting just 20 of 51 field-goal attempts in a deserved 68-58 defeat, arguably their worst performance of 2026. Fournier once again led the scoring with 15 points while also adding seven rebounds and seven assists.
In late May, Olympiakos defeated Real Madrid 92-85 to secure the EuroLeague title in Athens. Fournier played a huge role in that comeback victory, recording 20 points, five rebounds and four assists on his way to Finals MVP honors.
Panathinaikos Relying on Defense
Lack of aggression was the main reason behind Panathinaikos’ 82-76 defeat in Game 1, earning just five free throws in the entire match. Rebounding was also a major issue, with the Greens losing that battle 47-23.
Forcing 14 turnovers while committing just seven themselves put Panathinaikos in a strong position in Game 2, which they won 68-58 despite shooting only 41% from the field. Nigel Hayes-Davis finally delivered one of his best performances of the series, scoring 23 points and shooting 5/8 from beyond the arc.
Ergin Ataman has been under considerable pressure this season, particularly after Panathinaikos squandered a 2-0 lead against Valencia in the EuroLeague quarterfinals and missed out on the Final Four.
