The fans of both teams were extremely disappointed with the judges’ decisions at the end of the confrontations.
There was especially a lot of discussion in the social space after the referees’ decision to call a foul on Olympiakos’ tall Filip Petrushev with 0.5 seconds left in overtime for fouling Jabari Parker on a long shot.
The Barcelona legionnaire hit the first two free throws, missed the third on purpose, and Barcelona (82:80), who celebrated the victory, took a 2:1 lead in the series with three wins.
After the match, Olympiakos fans flooded social media and accused the EuroLeague of a conspiracy.
Keenan Evans, the defender of Kaunas “Zalgiris” team, reacted to the decision that caused a lot of discussion. He shared his opinion on the X social network.
“Unfortunately, the foul was 100 percent,” wrote the American, who was courted by the Greek media some time ago with the Olympiakos club.
Having lost their home field advantage, Olympiakos Piraeus is now pushed to the wall. Last year’s EuroLeague runner-up is 1:2 behind in the three-win series and must win both remaining matches of the series in order to play in the final four in Berlin.
The fourth leg will be played again in Piraeus on Thursday.
