BallinEurope this morning offers congratulations to Olympiacos, who just keep steamrolling through their EΣAKE season, last night taking the 2011 Greek Cup over rivals Panathinaikos, 74-68.
In their third defeat of the Greens thus far in 2010-11, Olympiacos’ chief heroes were game MVP Milos Teodosic and Ioannis Bouroussis; the former went for 18 points in the win, while the latter contributed a double-double. Behind Bourossis’ early scoring, the Reds jumped out to a 15-6 lead early and never looked back: While Panathinikos managed to close the gap to 39-37 for halftime, Olympiacos went on a 12-0 run in the third quarter to again open up the lead.
The Greek League playoffs begin on Wednesday.
