In the Euroleague, Olympiakos ended their disappointing campaign on a high, as they registered their only victory t the group stage on Wednesday.
The Reds defeated visiting Barcelona 11-7 to get their only three points in the group, still finishing last, one point behind third-placed Barcelona.
The Olympiakos players who have not been paid for several months decided after the game to begin a strike, starting with Saturday's league game against Vouliagmeni at home.
Greek international Antonis Vlontakis even stated after the match that "this may have been my last game for Olympiakos".
