Baskonia suffered a heartbreaking 89-90 defeat in their EuroLeague clash against Real Madrid on Thursday. Mario Hezonja sank a buzzer-beating three-pointer to seal the win for Madrid after Baskonia missed crucial free throws in the final moments of the fourth quarter.

On Friday, Baskonia lodged a formal complaint with the EuroLeague Referees' Committee, challenging several officiating decisions from the 23rd-round matchup.

According to EFE, Basque club submitted a video highlighting multiple plays they believe unfairly disadvantaged their players.

The game was officiated by Ilija Belosevic, Milan Nedovic, and Rain Peerandi. No players were fouled out, though a technical foul was issued to Pablo Laso.

The Referees' Committee, chaired Daniel Hierrezuelo, will now evaluate Baskonia’s claims. The findings could be made public, as occurred after a fourth-round game between Crvena Zvezda and Barca last October, where seven officiating errors were acknowledged.
