Olympiacos B.C. secured a decisive 89-66 victory against Anadolu Efes in the fourth round of the EuroLeague regular season. The match, held at the Sunel Arena, marked the club’s first home game of the season following the relocation from the Peace and Friendship Stadium (SEF) due to ongoing renovations.

While Anadolu Efes narrowed the gap to 31-30 during a competitive second quarter, Olympiacos dominated the second half to improve their record to 3-1. A decisive 19-5 run in the third quarter, fueled by rebounding and defensive intensity, allowed the Greek side to pull away. Key contributions included 16 points from Jan Veber and 16 points from Ioannis Morais, while Giannandonra Monteverdi and Konte Miller-McIntyre also provided significant scoring and impact during the decisive runs.

However, the victory was overshadowed by allegations of vandalism at the Sunel Arena. AEK BC issued a statement condemning the behavior of certain Olympiacos supporters, alleging they defaced facilities, including restrooms, with spray paint and posted offensive slogans insulting AEK fans and the memory of deceased individuals. AEK has called on Olympiacos to take responsibility for repairs and to ensure the permanent exclusion of those responsible from all arenas.

Olympiacos has responded by denouncing the behavior of the individuals responsible, stating they have ordered immediate repairs and will take steps to ensure the culprits are barred from entering the arena in the future. Head coach Georgios Bartzokas previously emphasized the necessity of defensive discipline for EuroLeague success and dismissed reports regarding the potential replacement of Tariq Jones as “completely untrue.”
