Fenerbahce have been fined €30,000 for their fan behavior. Namely, the Turkish club was hit with a fine due to "throwing of objects onto the playing court and the court invasion following the end of the game".

Immediately after the final buzzer, the fans swarmed onto the court, and a scuffle began. Throughout the game, there were numerous episodes of fans shouting directly into Monaco players' faces, at one time even obstructing the throw-in of the ball from the sideline.

In 4th quarter, one of the referees had to stop the game due to an object thrown on the court.

The EuroLeague additionally sanctioned AS Monaco forward Jaron Blossomgame. The 30-year-old was sanctioned with a warning due to his "acts that show a lack of respect towards the public".

After the game, Blossomgame explained to BasketNews what exactly transpired.

Game 5 of the series is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8th, at 19:00 CET.
