Olympiacos is the Greek Champion: A stormy end to the season
Olympiacos completed a dream season last night (13.06.2026) by winning the Greek basketball championship, following an 85:89 victory over Panathinaikos in the fifth and decisive game of the series. This achievement gives Giorgos Bartzokas' team an impressive double and a second consecutive championship title, as reported in Sport 5 - The Sport Channel Chat.
Alongside the professional achievement, the game descended into sour notes. According to Points in the Paint - Barak Haklai (Basketball), despite the victory, "the chaos that occurred during and especially at the end" was what stole the focus from the game. At the center of the events was a violent incident where, as noted in the report by Points in the Paint, player Tyrique Jones struck Kendrick Nunn, an incident that cast a shadow over the title celebrations of the Reds from Piraeus.
The reports from both channels are consistent regarding the final result and the flow of the game, while Sport 5's focus remains on the historical and professional achievement, whereas Points in the Paint highlights the disciplinary aspect and the conduct of the players at the end of the season.
