AEK – Olympiakos 74-80: Dreamy Sloukas saved Piraeus from the accident

Costas Sloukas scooped Olympiakos and an 18-0 run in four minutes was enough to save Piraeus from a babble in the away game against AEK (80-74).

In a physically, physically and psychologically bad period, Olympiakos had to face AEK in Ano Liossia ahead of Devil’s Week in EuroLeague and away games against Real Madrid and Baskonia. The failures of McKissick, Papanikolaou, Vezenkov and Printezis were huge and unbridgeable, the yellow-blacks played with unimaginable stubbornness and had Andy Rautins in the match of his life, but Costas Sloukas class finally took the lead. 80-74) for Game 14 of the Stoiximan Basket League.

Olympiakos increased to 11-1 (5-1 home and 6-0 away) with Sloukas working miracles (23 points, 4/6 two points, 4/7 three points, 3/4 shots, 3 rebounds, 11 Assists, 1 steal, 1 error in 32 minutes) and are the only ones to stand out along with Livio Jean-Charles and Hassan Martin. AEK (4-2 h and 2-5 a) fell to 6-7, who didn’t have the patient Stefanos Dedas on their bench, was robbed by Pappas – Angola, relied on the impressive Andy Routines and his defense. but stayed strong in the end, had no solutions on the bench and bowed to the talent of Kostas Sloukas.

After Eisi made two quick fouls early in the second period, Bartzokas replaced him with Jean-Charles, who scored to make it 18-17 for nine points. However, nothing has changed. AEK continued to play tenaciously and stay in control at a time when Piraeus had poor decisions, easy mistakes, Sloukas very inaccurate and Larentzakis ineffective. Mavroidis shot to 33-27 in 19 minutes, and by halftime he found a team had pierced his ceiling and enduring one of his worst twenty minutes of the season.

A Colom treble early in the second half gave AEK a double-digit lead for the first time (38-27), Rautins made great shots to make it 45-31 in 24′, Kouzeloglou scored 49-34 in 25′ and Rautins kept digging in from the periphery to execute! Olympiacos was in a different stadium but still kept the difference at… reasonable levels. The -8 at the end of the third period helped keep him alive and generated tremendous interest in the fourth quarter of a derby that few expected to turn out like this.

Piraeus used an impressive 15-0 streak to quickly level at 58-58, while Sloukas pulled in another incredible shot to make it 58-61. AEK showed character, took the lead again (64:63 in 35′), but Slouka’s pass to Eisi and the Olympiakos guard’s fourth three (65:73) decided the match a minute and a half before the end.

Demin makes history. The Russian again set a record in the NBA

Demin makes history. The Russian again set a record in the NBA

True, his team was left without a victory.

Over the past year, fans have become accustomed to news about records coming from overseas. Until recently, their main supplier was hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. But in the 2025/26 season, successes in the NBA were added to the achievements of our athletes in the NHL. This became possible thanks to the play of Yegor Demin, who again played a great match the day before with the Brooklyn Nets.

If the Russian does not slow down, then in the future, like Ovechkin, he has every chance to go down in the history of North American sports.

On the way to a dream

Russian representation in the NBA has always been more modest than in the NHL. And even with certain achievements, and Timofey Mozgov and Alexander Kaun, by the way, became league champions, the thought does not arise to compare the successes of Russian hockey players and basketball players overseas. How many American basketball fans now remember Sergei Monya, Yaroslav Korolev, Pavel Podkolzin?

Only Andrei Kirilenko stands out from the general background – the Russian forward played in the NBA for quite a long time. I even once went to an all-star game, where I played side by side with people like Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Allen Iverson. But how many star matches did our hockey players have overseas?

With all due respect to the AK-47 game, he still does not reach the level of a North American basketball legend. Time will tell whether Yegor Demin, who powerfully broke into the NBA at the age of 19, will be able to write his name into history. But for now, the Brooklyn Nets basketball player is doing everything possible to make his dream come true.

Prolific newcomer

Kirilenko was selected by the Utah Jazz in the first round of the NBA draft as the 24th pick, and Brooklyn took Demin eighth. But these were still advances, which have so far been fully justified. The newcomer regularly appears on the court, and with the exception of the first couple of weeks of the season, in the starting lineup. At the same time, Egor is not just serving his number: in the last six matches he scored at least 14 points, in two cases he reached the 20 point mark.

In the next regular season game, the first basketball player in the league with the letter “e” on his uniform scored 23 points in the match against Golden State. Demin managed not only to repeat his best result, but also set a Brooklyn record for three-pointers among newcomers – seven accurate hits from behind the arc. True, the Russian team still lost with a score of 107:120, but in the context of the personal success of our basketball player overseas, this is a secondary issue.

Of course, to achieve sporting greatness, Egor needs to spend more than one season at this level, but at least a dozen and a half. Demin, with 275 points in the NBA, did not even reach the results of Sergei Karasev (287), although he can do this in the next game. And then new landmarks will appear: Viktor Khryapa (643), Alexey Shved (1349), Timofey Mozgov (3072) and, of course, Andrey Kirilenko (9431). When the Russian surpasses the results of the AK-47, then we can talk about an established star in the NBA. In the meantime, we can only wish our basketball player not to lower his demands on himself and avoid serious injuries.
