Croatian coach Velimir Perasović had a fiery outburst following Kenneth Faried's defensive lapse during the clash between Baskonia and Valencia.

The flashpoint occurred in the fourth quarter when Perasović completely lost his temper with the former NBA star. After Kenneth Faried practically gave TJ Shorts a free lane to the basket, Perasović called an immediate timeout. Glaring at Faried, he unleashed a furious, expletive-laden tirade in true fiery Balkan coaching fashion.

Perasović's fury comes as Baskonia continues to struggle to find their rhythm under his leadership, currently in his fourth coaching stint with the Basque club.

Valencia claimed an 84-75 victory. The North Macedonia international, who joined the club from Panathinaikos, finished the contest with 18 points, five rebounds, and four assists. What truly stands out, however, is a remarkable statistical feat: through the first five rounds of the championship, he has yet to commit a single turnover despite logging a total of 100 minutes on the court.
