Olympiakos Tagged Favorites
Olympiakos made a strong start to the finals, taking a 12-point lead into halftime before securing an 82-76 victory in Game 1. Evan Fournier was the top scorer with 20 points, while Nikola Milutinov recorded a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
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 adding seven rebounds and seven assists.
The reigning European champions responded in style in Game 3, winning 102-92 at home to regain control of the series. Fournier delivered an outstanding performance with 28 points, while EuroLeague MVP Sasha Vezenkov added 24.
Olympiakos were one shot away from lifting the Basket League title in Game 4 in Athens, but after a true playoff thriller and two overtime periods, they eventually suffered a 93-86 defeat.
Panathinaikos Forcing a Decisive Game
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 PAO 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.
They couldn’t contain Olympiakos offensively in Game 3 though, losing the rebounding battle 34-23 which ultimately led to a 102-92 defeat. Panathinaikos still shot an impressive 56% from the field, with Jerian Grant topping the scoring charts with 19 points.
Paint control (49-38 rebounds) proved decisive in Game 4 as Ergin Ataman’s side completed a second-half comeback before winning 93-86 after two overtimes. Kendrick Nunn finally produced numbers closer to his season average, finishing with 23 points.

Verdict
Panathinaikos should take plenty of confidence from surviving Game 4 and extending the series. Kendrick Nunn finally found his rhythm offensively, while Nigel Hayes-Davis continues to provide scoring support, so I expect PAO to stay competitive again in Piraeus. An away win in +6.5 handicap looks like the best bet.
