Olympiacos Claims Greek Title as Postgame Clash Erupts With Panathinaikos

Olympiacos beat Panathinaikos 89-85 in the decisive Game 5 of the Greek league final on Saturday and won the championship 3-2 in the series. It was Olympiacos' 16th domestic title, while Panathinaikos remained on 40 Greek championships. Olympiacos also completed a season in which it won both the EuroLeague and the Greek league, while Panathinaikos had to settle for the cup.

The game ended in another heated chapter of the rivalry. After the final buzzer, players and staff were involved in shoving and confrontations in the players' tunnel, continuing a series that had already been violent and volatile. Social media videos circulated showing Olympiacos player Tyrique Jones attacking Panathinaikos star Kendrick Nunn.

The clip sparked fresh outrage around the postgame chaos, and one report said Panathinaikos coach Ergin Ataman claimed Jones went into the Panathinaikos locker room and punched Nunn. The article also said Panathinaikos owner was handed a one-year ban after posting harsh messages against referees and basketball officials, while Kendrick Nunn's wife was also barred from arenas for one year after attacking referees during Game 4.
