Once again, Olympiakos lost due to their mistakes, losing their focus and ultimately the game. They failed to close out the match as needed, allowing Bayern to win 84-80. Giorgos Bartzokas’s team conceded many easy baskets and still struggles to secure a win away from the SEF in the Euroleague, tallying three losses in as many games.

Olympiacos and Panathinaikos boarded the same flight to Rhodes, the venue for this weekend’s Super Cup (September 28-29). Today, Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos Airport served as a meeting point for three of the four teams vying for the title, as the two “eternal” rivals met at the airport.

Olympiacos, under the leadership of tactician Georgios Bartzokas, has now secured a spot in the Euroleague Final Four, following the path that Panathinaikos paved just a day earlier

Olympiakos beat Barcelona in Spain on Wednesday and will join Panathinaikos at the Euroleague Final Four to take place later this month in Berlin.

The Reds upset the odds and won 63-59 to win the best-of-five-quarterfinal series 3-2 and advance for one more year to the competition's showcase event.

Sergio Llull's basket three seconds from the end broke the Reds' hearts in the Euroleague final at Kaunas, as Real Madrid beat Olympiakos 79-78 on Sunday to win its 11th European crown.

The week after the Greek league derby, that saw Olympiakos edge out Panathinaikos away, ended in both of them losing easily in the Euroleague.

Olympiakos went down 90-75 at Partizan Belgrade on Friday to stay with 21 wins in 30 matches.

Olympiakos announced on Sunday the return of Giorgos Bartzokas to its bench after the dismissal of caretaking Kestutis Kemzura.

Bartzokas - the first Greek coach ever to win the Euroleague, with Olympiakos in 2013 - was presented by the Olympiakos presidents, Giorgos and Panagiotis Angelopoulos.

Panathinaikos looks like slipping out of contention for a play-off spot in the Euroleague after its loss at Zalgiris, while Olympiakos produced a widely anticipated home win over Khimki to stay in the running for a top-four finish.

The tough week in the Euroleague has started triumphantly for the Greek teams, as Panathinaikos trounced hitherto joint leader Khimki in Athens and Olympiakos downed European champion Fenerbahce in Turkey.

On Tuesday the Greens eclipsed Khimki 93-65 at the Olympic Sports Hall with an outstanding all-around performance that gave the Russian team no chance on the night.
