Olympiacos paint the derby red and extend their EuroLeague streak

Olympiacos beat Panathinaikos AKTOR 86-80 at the SEF and pushed their EuroLeague head-to-head run to 11 consecutive victories. Overall in the competition, the rivalry now stands at 23-7 in favor of the Piraeus side, dating back to their first EuroLeague meeting in the 1994 Final Four semifinals.

Bartzokas’ team leaned on efficient two-point scoring (19/30) and balanced output: Tyler Dorsey led with 13, Alec Peters scored 12, while Nikola Milutinov and Evan Fournier added 10 each. Frank Ntilikina and Cory Joseph both chipped in 10 as Olympiacos controlled key stretches.

Panathinaikos were driven by Kendrick Nunn’s 20 points, with Cedi Osman and Juancho Hernangomez adding 14 apiece, but the visitors’ 17 turnovers proved costly and the late push wasn’t enough to end the EuroLeague skid in the derby.
