Overview
- Valencia won 91-87 at OAKA to extend the EuroLeague best-of-five series to a fourth game.
- The contest saw both head coaches, Ergin Ataman and Pedro Martínez, ejected after receiving their second technical fouls late in the third quarter.
- Authorities classified the Athens matchup as high risk, so police provided an escort and OAKA set up protective barriers at the visitors’ bench.
- The high-risk label followed trouble in Game 2 in Valencia and a string of hostile messages from Greek ultras on social media.
- Panathinaikos owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos is serving a three-game stadium ban, with Spanish police also filing a complaint, and he urged fans to stay calm while questioning Valencia’s use of private security.
