Greece's two teams in the Euroleague stumbled on their return to the competition after Christmas on Thursday, as Olympiakos lost to Zalgiris in Lithuania and Panathinaikos suffered an unexpected reverse to Valencia in Spain.

Depleted Olympiakos went down 74-68 at Kaunas as its available players could not sustain the lead the Piraeus team enjoyed in the first three quarters.

Olympiakos beat its Spanish opposition in Greece while Panathinaikos succumbed to its Spanish host as the new Euroleague got underway this week.

A stadium ban sent Olympiakos to Crete for its first home game and the Reds filled the stands of the Dyo Aorakia court in Iraklio in their 75-64 victory over Baskonia on Thursday.

AEK remained joint top of the Basket League as it came from 11 points down to beat host PAOK on Saturday for its first major victory in the league this season.

AEK won 78-71 thanks to a strong last period in Thessaloniki and has made it six victories out of six games.
