I Predict A Riot: Clashes at games in Greece and Serbia
I’m sure this would ultimately spark off a little excitement during a BBL game, but in Greece and Serbia, these clashes showed the real passion and determination foreign fans of the game have.
The Radivoj Korać Cup final in Serbia between Partizan and Red Star was tied at 43-43 before chaos descended, and the decision was then made for the game to be completed behind closed doors today.
Not quite so bad, but still sufficiently worrying to say the least, was the battle between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos, also had trouble in the Greek Basketball Cup. This game was suspended for an hour, and eventually restarted after everyone sat down and had a nice discussion about how they’d like to actually see the game they’d paid to watch…Panathinaikos did win by the way – 81-78.
