With just over 2 minutes left in the second quarter, James had a one-on-one mismatch against Dyshawn Pierre. A few seconds later, James hit his signature stepback jumper, narrowing the deficit to seven points (35-42).

Following the shot, Monaco's guard celebrated the make by showing three fingers while running down the court. A few moments later, James was hit with a technical foul, forcing a strong reaction from the player.

After the game, James took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice his frustration about the call.

"Good game by Fenerbahce. All the praises. We didn’t deserve to win today. But we got to talk about this wild a** technical I got today," he posted. "That’s the craziest, most made-up s**t I've ever heard. It’s a disgrace and ridiculous. Y’all have to do better. That is all..."

It was the first game for head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius under the helm of Fenerbahce. James, meanwhile, was the game's top scorer with 24 points in his account.
