The Panathinaikos and Olympiacos are "battling" in the context of the 23rd round of the Stoiximan GBL at the Telekom Center Athens, in a derby without any ranking significance, but always with the motivation of prestige.
The... tempers flared quickly in the derby 33.8 seconds before the end of the second quarter, with Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Dorsey getting into a scuffle just before halftime. At that moment, Mathias Lessort also got involved in the altercation that ensued. The calmer ones tried to intervene and calm the spirits, but Dorsey saw his jersey being torn by the French center, who was charged with an unsportsmanlike foul.
The trigger was the foul by Nunn on the American guard of Olympiacos, while the staff of the "red and whites" brought a new shirt for Dorsey.
