Thursday night's EuroLeague action did not unveil any more 2024 EuroLeague Final Four participants, but it guaranteed two Game 5s.

Kicking off the action, Olympiacos left no chance for Barcelona, crushing them by 34 points. Five Olympiacos players scored in double digits, and only Jabari Parker had 10 points for the losing side.

Olympiacos forced Game 5, which will be held in Barcelona next week.

Until this game, all the matches in the series had been ultra-competitive, with neither team winning more than 8 points.

Next, Panathinaikos faced a must-win situation on the road and kept their series hopes alive against Maccabi. Kostas Soukas delivered clutch buckets and finished the game with 20 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 32 PIR. Kendrick Nunn added a game-high 27 points.

Meanwhile, Wade Baldwin started the game, but his hamstring strain seemed to have resurfaced.
