Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz — Olympiacos Piraeus: 89:106, Euroleague

Olympiacos Extend Dominance with Convincing Win Over Baskonia

Olympiacos Piraeus defeated Baskonia 106 to 89 in the EuroLeague on 24 September 2026, and the visitors made their superiority clear from the opening tip. By then you could see where this was heading — Olympiacos controlled the pace and didn't let Baskonia settle into any rhythm. The final margin told the full story without needing minute-by-minute detail.

Olympiacos shot more efficiently from the field, converting 36 of 64 attempts compared to Baskonia's 30 from 80. The difference came in the paint and at the free-throw line, where Olympiacos made 26 of 28 attempts. And here's the thing — Baskonia relied heavily on three-pointers, hitting 16 of 44 tries, but that volume couldn't compensate for the rest of their game.

The rebound battle swung decisively in Olympiacos's favour. They pulled down 38 boards against Baskonia's 27, with the visitors grabbing 28 defensive rebounds while Baskonia managed only 14. The possession numbers showed similar disparity — Olympiacos recorded 20 assists to Baskonia's 25, but the quality of chance creation mattered more than the raw count.

This result keeps Olympiacos top of the EuroLeague table with 26 wins from 38 games. Baskonia remain in 18th place with just 13 victories, and the gap between them widens considerably. To be fair, the standings don't capture everything, but the point difference in this game reflected the season-long trend.

What struck me watching was how Olympiacos maintained composure after Baskonia's early three-point barrage. They didn't panic, didn't chase the score — they stuck to their structure. The visitors have now played five games against Panathinaikos recently, winning three, and this performance against Baskonia showed they're playing at a different level entirely.
