Описание: Panathinaikos - Olympiacos | RS Round 8 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague

The Reds beat the Greens for the seventh consecutive time in EuroLeague action.
Olympiacos Piraeus led for all but 25 seconds in the first Greek derby of the season before going on to pull out an 89-94 road win over archrival Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens on Friday night in this week's Rivalry Series game. It's the third straight win for the Reds, while this outcome snaps the Greens' three game winning streak. Both powerhouses now hold a 5-3 record.

Georgios Bartzokas's side led by as many as 13 points on a couple of occasions in the second quarter, but Panathinaikos was clicking on all cylinders offensively in the second half and finally took its first lead, 83-82, with 3:15 to go in the game. But that turned out to be the hosts' only lead as Even Fournier netted three big shots, a total of 8 points in a 2-10 run, to give Olympiacos the victory.

Fournier finished with 22 points, while Sasha Vezenkov scored all 20 of his points in the first three quarters. Nigel Williams-Goss had 13 points, Nikola Milutinov dominated inside with 12 points and 8 rebounds, while Thomas Walkup dished 11 assists. Kendrick Nunn was the top scorer for Panathinaikos with 20 points, and Mathias Lessort and Juancho Hernangomez scored 13 apiece. Kostas Sloukas had 12 points and 7 assists, while Cedi Osman scored 11 in a losing effort.

Olympiacos took the lead from the get-go, with a triple from Fournier and a pair of fast-break layups from Vezenkov sparking a game-opening 1-11 run. Panathinaikos needed more than 4 minutes for its first field goal, a three-pointer from Nunn. Fournier and Moustapha Fall kept the margin safe, 6-15, but another three from Nunn and his alley-oop connection with Omer Yurtseven cut the margin to a single basket. However, Kostas Papanikolaou answered with a three-pointer and the Reds held a 15-20 advantage after 10 minutes.

Olympiacos scored the first 7 points of the second, with Williams-Goss scoring a three-point play and Milutinov starring inside. A wide-open three from Alec Peters opened a 17-30 margin before Osman made a corner three for the hosts, their first field goal nearly 4 minutes into the second quarter. Goss hit a pair of three-pointers to keep the margin at double figures, 25-38. But Sloukas got the hosts going, scoring 7 points in the rest of the half, including a three-pointer that cut it to 33-38, before Vezenkov's three-point play in the final second before the break set the halftime score at 33-41.
