Fans Throw Flares and Cause Delay in Championship Loss in Greek League

Sunday marked the conclusion of the Greek Basket League as Panathinaikos defeated Olympiacos, 66-51, in Game 5 of the best-of-five league finals to win the series.

Panathinaikos held a comfortable lead near the two-minute mark in the fourth quarter when Olympiacos fans starting throwing flares and firecrackers. 

One hit the Panathinaikos bench, according to the Associated Press (via the Washington Post), and the game was delayed for 25 minutes. 

The game resumed after all Olympiacos fans cleared out. 

Former Memphis Grizzlies guard Nick Calathes scored 12 points in the win.
