Panathinaikos has decided to not protest Game 2 of the Finals series against Olympiacos and participate in Game 3 normally.
Here is a part of the announcement of the club.
“We witnessed a “crime of the referees” that alters the result of the game violating the rules, a “crime” which our club has experienced, and is still experiencing throughout the years in all our departments. We are impressed that such a play was left unremarked by the commentators during the TV broadcasting.
As Panathinaikos we have learned to be ambassadors of the great principals and values of our great club . Therefore we want to inform about the following: We have the opportunity to file a protest of the game and be vindicated on paper, since the violation (of Spanoulis before his game winning-shot) is CRYSTAL CLEAR and alters the game. We inform the fans that we will not make such a move, that is completely tied with Olympiacos. We will NEVER take the championship of “protests”.
