Olympiacos Strikes Back! Panathinaikos defeated as Game 2 is secured

Olympiacos responds well to the Game 1 loss: in Game 2, in front of their home crowd, the red-and-whites from Piraeus defeat Panathinaikos 91-83. The series is now tied at 1-1, with both teams so far holding serve at home. Game 3 will take place on Wednesday, June 4 at OAKA, and after the pre-game tensions involving the Panathinaikos president and what was seen on the court, it promises to be a heated matchup.

For Olympiacos, the top scorers were Tyler Dorsey and Thomas Walkup, each with 16 points. Also valuable were the usual 15 points from Vezenkov. For the Greens, the 16 points from Papapetrou and Sloukas weren’t enough. It wasn’t a great night for Osman and Hernangomez.
