On November 12, 2026, Olympiacos Piraeus secured a dominant 101-72 victory over Dubai BC at the Sunel Arena during the 11th round of the Euroleague.

The win helped Olympiacos climb back to the top of the league standings, equalizing with Panathinaikos, Barcelona, and Valencia.
A significant milestone was reached during the game as Sasha Vezenkov became the all-time leading scorer for Olympiacos in Euroleague history, surpassing the previous record held by Vassilis Spanoulis with his 3,553rd point. Alongside Vezenkov, who contributed 20 points, Evan Fournier led the offensive effort with 28 points and 5 assists, while Corey Joseph added 12 points. Olympiacos played without the injured Kostas Papanikolaou and Jean Montero, and the suspended Tyler Dorsey.
