Panathinaikos won this home game 68:58 (9:15, 20:15, 19:8, 20:20) and tied the best-of-three series 1:1.
In this match, the “clovers” owner’s nerves failed again. Already in the first half of the game, Dimitrios Giannakopoulos stepped onto the court and criticized the referees. The latter later warned the arena that if this happened again, the game would be stopped.
After the long break whistle blew, as the teams were heading to the locker rooms, he rushed onto the court and approached the team’s coach Ergin Ataman. Videos show him vehemently explaining something to him.
