Olympiacos seized a crucial 2-1 lead in the Stoiximan GBL finals series by defeating rivals Panathinaikos 102-92 in a high-scoring Game 3. The victory was largely powered by an exceptional performance from French guard Evan Fournier, who was instrumental in securing the win for his team.

Fournier, who was named the Final Four MVP, delivered a stellar offensive display, leading all scorers with 27 points. His contribution included an impressive six successful three-pointers and eight assists, showcasing his dual threat as a scorer and playmaker. Sasha Vezenkov also provided significant support for Olympiacos, adding 22 points to the team's total.

Despite the loss, Panathinaikos saw strong performances from Jerian Grant, who finished with 19 points and four three-pointers. However, the team struggled offensively from other key players, notably Kendrick Nunn, who was limited to just 10 points. TJ Shorts contributed 15 points for Panathinaikos, but it wasn't enough to overcome Olympiacos's dominant offensive performance in front of their home crowd.
