TENSION AT THE END OF THE MATCH

With 36 seconds left before the end of the match, Fenerbahçe Beko Head Coach Dimitris Itoudis requested the referees to watch the position on the screen, on the grounds that the ball went out of Anadolu Efes players.

Anadolu Efes Head Coach Ergin Ataman, who reacted to this objection when the score was 101-86 in favor of Fenerbahçe, went to the locker room without waiting for the end of the match.

When Fenerbahçe players started to use the last ball despite the gap, Anadolu Efes‘ US player Will Clyburn pushed Fenerbahçe Beko Assistant Coach Stefanos Dedas, whom he was walking on.

There was a discussion between the players of the two teams on what happened with 1.1 seconds left. The referees called a technical foul on Clyburn with Fenerbahçe side management.

On the other hand, the yellow-dark blue fans cheered against Ergin Ataman throughout the match.
