Promitheas Patras won its first ever national trophy as it beat Peristeri in the final of the Basketball Super Cup on Thursday, after seeing off AEK a day earlier.
The new tournament introduced by the Basket League was held in the form of a Final Four involving the top four teams in last year’s regular season (there were no playoffs due to the lockdown). It served as a competitive answer to the preseason friendlies and eventually produced more excitement than anticipated.
In the first semifinal on Wednesday Promitheas eliminated AEK with a 98-88 score, followed by the upset by host Peristeri over Panathinaikos (90-82).
In Thursday’s final Promitheas was the better team and overcame the host with an 82-74 score. Panathinaikos finished third, beating AEK 79-73 earlier in the day.
