Olympiacos releases footage regarding contentious foul in Greek league finals

Following the first game of the Greek basketball league finals, Olympiacos BC shared a video and photographic evidence of a foul called against Panathinaikos player Kendrick Nunn on Evan Fournier. The incident occurred with 46 seconds remaining in the game while the score was 75-73 in favor of Olympiacos. The referee's decision sent Fournier to the free-throw line, where he extended the lead to 77-73. Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman publicly criticized the officiating both in his flash interview and the post-game press conference. The Panathinaikos front office also issued an official statement expressing strong dissatisfaction with the officiating quality throughout the match. Olympiacos responded to these complaints by posting an alternative camera angle of the foul on social media with the caption "No comment is needed." This action by the Olympiacos media team suggests that the organization believes the contact was clear and the foul call was justified.
