Olympiakos did the same as in 1988, Panathinaikos suffered two consecutive defeats in the championship after 8 years
Olympiacos left Panathinaikos for the second straight season with a win in the Basket League regular season and it happened for the first time in 35 years.
Olympiacos won OAKA in game 19 of the Basket League, turning the clock back to 1988. How did that happen? Since the Red-Whites have achieved away wins against Panathinaikos in two consecutive games for the regular duration of the league (ss. led 62-68 in the 21st game of last season).
Something similar happened 35 years ago. At that time, the red-whites from the home of the Greens had won the season 1986-87 and the competitive season 1987-88.
At the same time, Panathinaikos conceded their second consecutive regular-season defeat in eight years, following their matchday 18 loss to PAOK.
The last time was in the 2014/15 season when they were also defeated in two consecutive games by Olympiacos away (on December 27, 2014 with 81-75) and PAOK in Thessaloniki (on January 4, 2015 with 71-54). .
