After the loss in Game 4 of the semifinal series against Larisa, Panathinaikos head coach Georgios Vovoras was absolutely furious.

Right after the end of the game, Vovoras was visibly frustrated and started yelling at the referees. He had to be contained by members of his staff and by Larisa's team manager.

In the post-game press conference, Vovoras also complained about the conditions in which the game was played. The air-conditioning system in Larisa's arena was broken and both teams had to play with a temperature of around 36 degrees.

"Conditions were horrible for both teams", Vovoras said after the game. "No basketball game can be played under those circumstances".

Larisa won the game with the final score of 74-62 and now game 5, the decisive one for the series, will be played on Wednesday.
