Welcome to the first edition of The Buzzer Lab newsletter.
This is a place for EuroLeague basketball analytics — stats explained properly, plays broken down visually, every player and team from the 2025–26 season in one place. The kind of thing that didn't exist, so I built it.
The season is over. Olympiacos are champions. But the numbers are still here, and there's a lot worth understanding before next October. Over the coming weeks we'll be looking at what the data actually said about this season — the efficiency gaps nobody talked about, the players who outperformed their reputation, the teams that looked better or worse than their record suggested. The stuff that gets lost in the noise of a season but becomes clear when you look back calmly.
Glad you're here for issue one.
From the blog
A PURE DOGFIGHT. TWO GIANTS. ONE TITLE.
The last time Olympiacos won the EuroLeague was 2013 — against Real Madrid, 100–88, in London. Thirteen years later, same opponent, same outcome, completely different game. This one had to be earned point by point, possession by possession, until the very last second.
Real led for more than 25 minutes. There were 10 lead changes and five ties. The score was level at 80–80 with under two minutes remaining. This was not a coronation. This was a fight.
Actions
Pick And Roll
Two players create a mismatch using a simple exchange: the ball handler drives toward a stationary teammate, forcing the defense to make an impossible choice — guard the driver or protect the rim.
Teams
Season Journey
Season Journey traces any EuroLeague team's path through the season, game by game. Pick up to four teams and watch their trajectories unfold side by side — where they stumbled, where they found their rhythm, and where the gaps between them opened.
