After the final buzzer, Jasikevicius shook Ergin Ataman's hand, and everything went as usual.

However, then the altercation between Jasikevicius and Efes assistant coach Tomislav Mijatovic initiated. According to BasketNews sources, Jasikevicius accused Efes coaching staff of secretly filming Barcelona's practice before the game.

"Good f****** camera," Jasikevicius allegedly told one of the Efes coaching staff members.

Other assistant coaches separated Jasikevicius and Mijatovic. Even Anadolu Efes general manager Alper Yilmaz got involved as he calmed down Jasikevicius, who went to the tunnel smiling straight after.

"Whatever we argued about is between us," Jasikevicius said on the incident after the game. "We have to say some things sometimes when we believe in them, and we move on. What I said to him, everybody understands in our business. But the best things are left in coaches community," Jasikevicius said in the press conference."

Efes won the game 96-86 and claimed their third win of the EuroLeague season.
