The fans interpreted the player's reaction as a provocation and Baron then immediately received 'F**k you, Billy' chants from the stands which were heard pretty clearly during the following timeout.
Despite the offensive words, Milan's shooting guard told Mozzart Sport that "there is no anger" from his side.
"We knew what kind of atmosphere awaits us in Belgrade. This is the hardest place to play in all of Europe. I love this hall, it's one of the best in the world, especially with this atmosphere. I love this club, the fans, and there's no anger. In the end, we won," the American guard pointed out after the game.
Milan has won the first EuroLeague match since October 20.
