Olympiacos Piraeus have been crowned champions of the Greek Basketball League once again, defeating arch-rivals Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens 85–71 in Game 4 of the finals to seal the series 3–1.

The Reds took control of the game in the second quarter, building a 35–24 lead before Panathinaikos rallied to narrow the margin to 42–38 at halftime. Despite losing star forward Sasha Vezenkov to a severe ankle sprain just before the break, Olympiacos maintained their momentum.

In the second half, Olympiacos surged ahead again, ending the third quarter with a 64–52 lead. The final period was one-sided, with Olympiacos stretching the advantage to as much as 23 points (82–59), effectively putting the game beyond doubt.

Shaquielle McKissic was instrumental in the win, scoring a game-high 20 points. Tyler Dorsey followed with 17 points, while Nikola Milutinov contributed a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Kendrick Nunn led Panathinaikos in scoring with 18 points but received limited support in the face of Olympiacos’ disciplined team effort.

The victory marks Olympiacos’ 16th Greek League championship, reaffirming their status as one of the dominant forces in Greek basketball.
