The latest Give Me Control column analyses Trent Forrest's winning shot against Baskonia and the fouls called against Panathinaikos – not just against Nunn, but other calls, too.

Last week in Round 23, a missed traveling call led to Mario Hezonja's buzzer-beater and Real Madrid's 90-89 victory over Spanish rival Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz

But did the tables turn last night, and did Baskonia get the same break from the referees on Trent Forrest's basket with 0.5 seconds left, which gave them an 88-86 victory over FC Barcelona

And in last night's EA7 Emporio Armani Milan's 87-75 home victory over Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, did visiting Engin Ataman have really anything to complain about regarding the officiating?

During his post-game presser, the Greens coach remarked:

"All fouls called to K [Kendrick Nunn] were correct, but I don't want to talk about other calls against us."

Give Me Control jumps right into the first night of Euroleague Round 24 to comment on Forrest's winning shot as well as the fouls called against Panathinaikos – not just against Nunn, but other calls, too.

And who should be complaining about the officiating in this game? Ergin Ataman or Ettore Messina?
