Maccabi Tel Aviv players and coaches expressed significant anger following a controversial non-call in the final minutes of their EuroLeague game against Barcelona, which they narrowly lost. With Barcelona leading 85-80 and 32 seconds remaining, Barcelona's Tyree Martin appeared to strike Maccabi's Yim Madar, an action Maccabi argued was unsportsmanlike. However, after a challenge by Maccabi coach Oded Kattash, the referees reviewed the play but ultimately decided not to issue any penalty against Martin. The Maccabi bench was incensed, particularly given that Barcelona was awarded 20 free throws compared to Maccabi's 10 throughout the game. Reports indicate the referees reviewed the incident from only one angle, deviating from standard procedure in such situations. Further compounding Maccabi's frustration, player Jimmy Clark was disqualified with his fifth foul in a contentious call with only 32 seconds left on the clock, contributing to the team's strong objections.
