Pulse Sports Team 15:10 - 07 June 2026

As always, the Greek championship finals and the clashes between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos draw significant attention, and this year is no exception.

PAO successfully defended their home court, leveling the series at 1-1, but tensions have once again reached a fever pitch ahead of Game 3, set to be played in Piraeus.

During the second game, Giannakopoulos stormed onto the court, visibly upset by a referee's decision, which served as a flashpoint for Olympiacos.

The Reds have since appealed to the authorities, and as stated by the newly crowned European champions, they are seeking a five-year ban for Panathinaikos owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos.

Olympiacos yesterday filed a complaint with the Greek Basketball Federation regarding irregularities observed during Friday's game. We demand an immediate administrative ban for Panathinaikos, specifically a one-game penalty played behind closed doors. Furthermore, we request a €100,000 fine for Dimitris Giannakopoulos, along with a five-year ban from attending games. KK Olympiacos
