VENUE: Palau Blaugrana (Barcelona) DATE: 1-04-1997 (20:30 h) ATTENDANCE: 7.800 REFEREES: Wiesław Zych (POL), Alan Richardson (ENG) FOULED OUT: Gay (40’) TOP SCORER: Carlton Myers (27) [Incidents: With 3.9 seconds left and FC Barcelona winning by three points (75-72), Ðorđević committed a personal foul on Murdock. The American point guard of Teamsystem converted the first shot and, as expected, intentionally missed the second. Myers grabbed the rebound and missed his shot, but Gay tied the game in the last second with a tap-in. However, after consulting with the table officials, the English referee Alan Richardson, in a very controversial decision, disallowed the basket arguing that it was converted out of time; in addition, he punished Teamsystem’s American center with an offensive foul on Karnišovas (his fifth). In the turmoil of the Italian protests, the referees even forgot about the two free throws of the Lithuanian forward. Twenty minutes later, Karnišovas, who had already taken a shower, had to change clothes again and return to the court for his two free throws, but everybody had left and the baskets had already been dismantled. After the game, the president of the Italian Lega, Angelo Rovati, sent an official protest to FIBA for what he considered “the ultimate and most flagrant abuse on the Italian teams, who have written the history of European basketball”.]
