The Greek Basketball League finals concluded in dramatic fashion at the SEF arena in Piraeus, where Olympiacos defeated Panathinaikos in a decisive Game 5 to claim their 16th championship and second consecutive title. But the final buzzer was far from the end of the drama.
Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman alleged that Olympiacos center Tyrique Jones attacked his guard Kendrick Nunn in the locker room corridors after the game. Video footage of the altercation emerged, showing a physical confrontation. Nunn, when asked about the incident by reporters, neither confirmed nor denied the allegations, instead pushing the microphone away. Panathinaikos fans, despite the loss, rallied outside the team’s Telekom Center with flares and chants of support.
