Incredible scenes unfolded at the start of the final quarter in Čair Hall, as FMP pushed towards the domestic championship final.

Penarroya had already received a technical foul, while Nikitović had none. At one point, after the Spaniard challenged a foul call on Carlik Jones, the two coaches clashed, leading to an astonishing outcome – both were ejected.

It appeared Penarroya's second technical foul might have been overly harsh, prompting Joan to confront the referees, demanding an explanation. If Penarroya's ejection was questionable, what can be said about the two technical fouls the FMP coach received, seemingly without cause?

Neither the Partizan strategist nor the Panthers' coach accepted the referees' decision, but ultimately, both had to leave for the locker room, with their assistants taking over.
