Olympiacos Piraeus returned to the Greek throne on Sunday night after an 85-71 win over archrival Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens in Game 4 of their best-of-five Greek League finals series. With the 3-1 series win, the Reds claimed their 15th Greek championship - and third in the last four years.
The hero of the title-clinching win was Shaquille McKissic, who scored 20 points while Tyler Dorsey had 17 points. Nikola Milutinov collected 11 points plus 10 rebounds, and Evan Fournier added 13 points. The 2024-25 EuroLeague MVP Kendrick Nunn scored 18 for the Greens in defeat.
In a tense series, the Reds won Game 4 despite losing Sasha Vezenkov to an ankle injury late in the second quarter. The Reds led by as many as 23 points late in the fourth quarter before Panathinaikos trimmed the deficit in the final minutes.
"The team spirit gave us the trophy", Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas stated after the Game 4 win. "We beat Panathinaikos three times in a row. Against such a good team, we showed superiority, we showed that we deserved the championship."
It was the third consecutive win for Olympiacos to finish the season. Panathinaikos took the series opener 80-68, only for Olympiacos to win Game 2 at home 91-83 and then triumph 88-99 in Game 3 in Athens.
