Olympiakos’ Five for a Kiss in the OAKA derby: What did the Red and White’s Fantastic Five do?
See what Olympiakos’ five protagonists did in their away win over Panathinaikos on Matchday 1 of the EuroLeague.
Olympiakos’ win at OAKA was the 18th in the last 19 derbies with Panathinaikos and the fourth in a row at the Greens’ home game. And it was both dramatic and impressive, as it was defeated in overtime as Giorgos Bartzokas’ players played with tenacity and determination when everything was stacked against them in EuroLeague Day 1 play. However, out of the dozen that did not include Ignas Brazdeikis – Mustafa Fal, five stood out. The five had between 14 and 17 points. From 26 to 39 minutes.
