2020–21 Greek Basket League

Promitheas put an end to second-placed Lavrio's winning streak, while Panathinaikos and AEK scraped past their weekend opponents in the Basket League.

A few days after Lavrio beat Promitheas at home in a postponed game from last fall, the Patra team avenged that result on Saturday as it managed to come from behind and win 90-88 in a nail-biter.

Promitheas Patras got the better of AEK in Athens on Saturday, with Panathinaikos strolling to the top of the table - one point ahead of Peristeri and with a game in hand - through a win at Aris on Sunday, in games postponed from the fall.

Panathinaikos won the Athens derby with AEK on Sunday night, as it awaits the arrival of Israeli coach Oded Kattash in the new week.

Having caretaking coach Kostas Haralambidis on their bench, the Greens won 80-75 at the Olympic Sports Hall, largely thanks to their supremacy in rebounds (39 against 23) and have moved to an 8-1 record, while AEK is on 7-2.

Surprise package Lavrio added an even more important scalp to that of AEK, as on Sunday it defeated champion Panathinaikos at home.

Just like AEK a week earlier, the Greens had their unbeaten record shattered at Lavrio, with a 92-82 score, paying for their complacency as they had enjoyed a comfortable lead in the first half.

Lavrio ended AEK's perfect record upsetting its visitor on Sunday, to cap a strong showing of the team coached by Christos Serelis over the last few weeks.

AEK's winning run ended at Lavrio with a 78-70 score, despite Yanick Moreira's 30 points and eight rebounds on the night, in the last league game in 2020.

Basket League leader Peristeri got upset at home to hitherto winless Lavrio on Saturday and is joined at the top of the table by AEK and Iraklis, though these three teams have not played the same number of games. AEK and Panathinaikos remain the teams with a perfect record to date.

Panathinaikos and AEK extended their unbeaten runs in the Basket League with easy wins over the weekend, that saw five out of the six scheduled matches take place. Promitheas and Peristeri had to work hard to beat their opponents from Thessaloniki.
