Sergio Llull violently fouled Kevin Punter. Wanting to defend himself, Punter squared off against Llull. The conflict caused a huge fight.

In the process, Guerschon Yabusele bodyslammed Dante Exum, Lessort pushed Dzanan Musa to the ground. In the process, Exum was injured and had to leave the arena on crutches.

Almost every single player from both teams was involved in the fight, the match got suspended, and 21 players received disqualifying fouls.

After the match, Partizan's head coach Zeljko Obradovic sent a message to Partizan fans, wanting to make sure that the conflict doesn't evolve into something much worse.

"What I would like is for our fans to understand that this is part of the sport, the players talked among themselves, and that should be the end of it. In these two games, we encountered phenomenal hospitality from Real. Everyone here felt it, I believe all of you who are here have felt it as well," Obradovic told the media in the mixed zone.

"I think that we in Belgrade should reciprocate that, so that no player, member of the coaching staff, or Real fan feels uncomfortable. We should send the image from Belgrade as it has always been at our matches. I will repeat it until the game, and I want us to talk only about the game before the game," he concluded.
