ATHENS, Greece -- Panathinaikos was named Greek basketball champion after referees called off the fourth game of the league finals against Olympiakos with just more than 1 minute left when it was interrupted by fans for a second time at Olympiakos' home arena Sunday.
Panathinaikos won its eighth consecutive Greek title and 12th in the last 13 seasons.
Panathinaikos, already ahead 2-1 in the best-of-five finals series, was leading 76-69 and about to shoot two free throws when Olympiakos fans seated behind the two baskets threw a barrage of plastic bottles and arena seats, which they had ripped off.
A flare was thrown at Panathinaikos players and coaching staff as they were leaving the arena, narrowly missing them.
The referees' decision must to be confirmed by league authorities.

I get the feeling Childress played his last game for that team. Who wants to deal with that?
