Joventut Badalona head coach Carles Duran expressed his dissatisfaction with the officiating his team encountered during Game 2 of the ACB League semifinals against Real Madrid.

He believed that his team still lacks the level of respect that their opponents enjoy.

"We were extremely frustrated with the referees' decisions towards the end of the game, and it's something we need to learn from," Duran said. "It's evident that we haven't earned the same level of respect that Real has been afforded. My hope is that we can change that perception in our upcoming game on Saturday. It's important to remember that we're not just competing against Real, we're also in the semifinals of the ACB league.

"One of our key players, Ante Tomic, received an unsportsmanlike foul and a technical foul due to his protest, yet there was a clear foul that occurred before that," he underlined. "In these first two games, we haven't managed to gain the respect that Real seemingly receives without question. It angers me because Ante Tomic had to leave the game while Tavares has zero fouls in eighty minutes."

Los Blancos won the second game of the series 90-73 on Thursday night and tied the best-of-five series at 1-1.

Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday, June 10, in Badalona.
