On this date in 2009, Olympiacos Piraeus returned to the biggest of basketball stages and started a long run of continued success with a 75-78 road win over Real Madrid in Game 4 of the best-of-five EuroLeague Playoffs. After using its homecourt advantage and capturing home wins in the first two games of the series, followed by a Game 3 loss in the Spanish capital, Olympiacos finished off the job to win the series 3-1 and book a ticket to Berlin, ending the Reds' decade-long EuroLeague Final Four drought.
