One victory away from winning this year’s championship Olympicwho on Friday night (07/06) made it 2-0 against the “eternal rival”, winning with 92-86 of Panathinaikos in SEF.

About this great victory he spoke Alec Peters, with the American forward of the “red and whites” stressing that nothing is over yet and that everyone in the team wants to win Game 3 on Monday to win the title.

At the same time, he also focused on the fact that Olympiacos scores a lot of points in the first two finals, stating that everyone feels they are at their best.

Alec Peters’ statements in detail:



For Olympiakos’ victory: “Every game against Panathinaikos counts. Losing three times is something we learn from. We’re in this position now (2-0 up) and it feels great. The season is not over, we still have the weekend to prepare and play on Monday, we are happy with the two wins and that we played well in front of our home crowd, but on Monday we have to win again.”

Olympiacos scores for what has changed: “We’re doing well in offensive rebounding, it gives us chances. Everyone has stepped up these moments, they are hitting big shots. Some moments in the season may have been “cold” but at this point we are playing our best. And some points in transition give us strength.”

Regarding the elimination of Panathinaikos from the Final Four: “My first year at CSKA we got to the Final Four and then we lost. It’s a big point in the season, you feel it has to be the last one with the energy you need and you have to come back, they still want to win the trophy like us. Every Olympiacos – Panathinaikos counts. We give them credit for their victory in the Final Four but now the goal is this trophy.”
