Olympiacos Piraeus walks away from a successful 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague campaign with plenty to be proud of. The Reds defeated archrival Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens 97-93 in the Third-Place Game at Etihad Arena on Sunday in Abu Dhabi to cap a season that saw them finish atop the regular season standings.
While Friday's loss to AS Monaco in the semifinals is sure to sting for some time, Olympiacos bounced back with a fantastic showing to finish the season in third place. Coach Georgios Bartzokas's men led from tip to buzzer with several players shining on the night.
Alec Peters shined bright with 32 points on 6-of-11 three-point shooting. After the game, he revealed a little about his approach to the game.

"I feel blessed to have the opportunity to bring joy to a lot of people’s lives out here," Peters said. "They came to see some basketball and every time I put on my shoes, I’m gonna try to give my best effort because I don’t want to stop playing someday and feel like I could have given more. So that’s what it was about for me today."
Peters tied Trajan Langdon for the most points scored in a Final Four game in the last quarter century. Langdon did so in 2011 for CSKA Moscow. Peters's 6-three-pointers also evened the Final Four mark.
"It sounds like I could have made one more and broken both of those records," Peters joked. "I’m gonna be thinking about that all night now!"
Luca Vildoza dished 9 assists and Thomas Walkup 8 to lead the attack as the Reds smashed the Final Four record with 34 assists. The previous record of 31 belonged to Maccabi Tel Aviv from its legendary 2004 championship game bashing of Skipper Bologna.
Sasha Vezenkov bounced back from his lowest-scoring game of the season in the semis to pour in 23 points for the winners and Moses Wright netted a season-high 19.
"We gotta set the tone for the Greek League Finals. This isn’t a game we took lightly," said Wright, who missed a chunk of the season due to a medical condition. "It was great to get back out there and show everybody what I can do… To get a win here and get the momentum here for the Greek League is what we were trying to do and we did it.
"To play a lot of minutes and score, rebound and affect the game the way I did felt really good."
These two teams will lock horns again later this week in the opener of the Greek League Finals. Regardless of how that goes for the Reds, they can take pride in how they finished the EuroLeague season.
