Greek Basketball Cup

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.

In the summer of 2023, when Panathinaikos decided to change course and completely revamp their basketball department, great expectations were set, although few believed that the “Greens” would reach the pinnacle of European and Greek basketball in their first year.

Panathinaikos came back from a 0-2 defeat and won the title with a 3-2 victory at OAKA - Sloukas was the top scorer with 29 points

Panathinaikos and Olympiacos face off once again this year, this time battling for the championship title in the final series, with Game 1 at OAKA tonight, Wednesday, June 5, at 21:15 (ERT 3)

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.

Panathinaikos and AEK extended their perfect records at the Basket League after tricky games for both of them during the weekend, while PAOK won the Thessaloniki derby against Aris.

Panathinaikos shook off its home loss on Friday to Zalgiris Kaunas for the Euroleague beating visiting Peristeri 76-57 on Sunday, as the Greens' coach Giorgos Vovoras beat his mentor, Argyris Pedoulakis.

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.

The Greek basketball league title will be decided in a a fifth and final game, after Panathinaikos defeated their arch-rivals Olymiakos at OAKA stadium (71-58) tying the finals series (2-2). The greens dominated the match throughout with playmaker Nikos Calathes leading his team with 14 points to its second victory in the best of five series.

Panathinaikos and Aris will contest the 2017 Greek Cup Final on February 19, as the Greens scored their first win over Olympiakos this season after three defeats - and away from home too - while Aris overcame AEK in Thessaloniki with a last-gasp effort.
