"After we suffered a 42-point loss, everyone made fun of us and said that we are over, Anadolu Efes are on vacation, and their season is done, but our players showed a great character," Ergin Ataman said after closing the series on Friday.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce big man Jonathan Motley went out for a meal and posted a photo of a bottle of wine on social media. The seemingly innocent post triggered a backlash from a Fenerbahce fan on Twitter, who accused Motley of disrespecting the team he plays for.

The fan's tweet read, "If Motley had shown this lack of commitment a few days after that game, we would have understood. It's evident that he has no sense of belonging or respect for us or the team he represents."

Motley swiftly responded to the fan's accusations, defending himself in a fiery tweet.

"Bro shut up. I went to dinner. I always post a nice wine cause my friends and I like to share which wine we drink. I have more respect for this club than you, this is how I feed my family, are you crazy!!! Fener helps me feed my family I play hard af every time I play!! F**k you!" the player wrote.

Motley had 16 points and nine rebounds in a 78-87 Game 4 loss.
