UCAM Murcia had gone all out at the WiZink Center, trying to take advantage of Real Madrid's wear and tear in their crazy week, which included victories on Tuesday against the Mavericks and Thursday in Istanbul against Efes, both surpassing 100 points. The run in the first half was 14-22 and Chus Mateo's men had to push hard to go into the break ahead (42-37). But it was just before the locker room when the controversy broke out in strange circumstances.

In the last action, a basket by Edy Tavares and an alleged hit to Moussa Diagne, who fell to the ground hurting his jaw. After reviewing the play, the referees not only indicate that there is no unsportsmanlike action by the Cape Verdean; The visiting center is flagged as unsportsmanlike for simulation (flopping).
There were three tenths of a second left and an angry Sito Alonso sent his bench to the locker room, although his players did not. In reality, the visiting coach was complaining to the referees that several Madrid players had already left in the confusion and were not cautioned for it.
When Campazzo scored the free kick and everyone was heading towards the break, Sergio Llull turned to the Madrid coach, to whom he said something and, in addition, hit with his right hand on the head, a 'colleja' that was about to turn into a tangana. Things didn't get any worse because several players, including Dzanan Musa, held back Sito, who after the game, which ended with the Whites' fifth league win (106-92), spoke about the scuffle.
"Llull? I have no idea. He's a player I respect a lot and everything that's good for him when he's playing for Spain is good for me. When he plays for Real Madrid, I don't care. I have nothing to say. I simply defend the interests of UCAM Murcia and I will do so until the end. Whoever is in front. I don't care at all," said the UCAM coach, who also tried to clarify what happened before: "I'm not the coach of Real Madrid, I'm the coach of UCAM Murcia. When I see an abnormal situation during the game, I don't care what anyone else thinks. I'm going to defend UCAM Murcia tooth and nail and everything that is necessary. If I consider that, in order to make a change, which they wanted to make on the court, there is a player who is in the tunnel, he is not on the court and they cannot make that change if it has not been due to an injury or for some reason. He left the court probably because he thought he finished fourth. But that's the only thing I'm complaining about. To respect the situation that my team was on court and there were several players of theirs who were not."
