Right after the match finished, an argument was kickstarted between the coaching staff members of both teams.
TV footage doesn't show the scuffle from the very beginning, but it looks like Georgios Bartzokas had something to say to Vlada Androic, assistant coach of Zeljko Obradovic's staff.
The security cameras in the arena showed that coach Bartzokas initially started wagging his finger at assistant coach Bogdan Karaicic and later did the same with another assistant, Vladimir Androic, before pushing him.
Tyrique Jones noticed what was going on and went straight into Bartzokas' face before members of both teams split everyone before anything could escalate.
In the meantime, a certain individual entered the court from the stands and pushed Bartzokas before rushing to leave the court. Bartzokas himself complained about it at the press conference.
"It's a EuroLeague issue," he said. "One of Zeljko's assistants, I don't know his name was cursing us during the whole game from their bench. I exchanged a few words with him.
"Then, after that, Tyrique Jones attacked me. Also, one fan came down from the stands and pushed me. But that's not my job, it's someone else's responsibility," Bartzokas concluded.
Olympiacos immediately informed the EuroLeague about this incident after the game was finished and published the photo of the Partizan fan.
