With 6:04 remaining in the third quarter, Dinos Mitoglou stole the ball after an ill-advised pass from Lorenzo Brown. The Greek forward was immediately stopped by Jake Cohen in mid-court.

The referees called a regular foul despite protests from Panathinaikos players and coaching staff. Ataman requested a challenge, certain that it was an unsportsmanlike foul.

After the review, the referees determined that it was a common foul and decided to uphold the initial decision. That's when Ataman went berserk.

The Turkish coach started screaming at referee Robert Lottermoser, quickly received his second technical foul, and got ejected.

Ataman had already received a technical foul in the second quarter.
