Panathinaikos forward Guerschon Yabusele told Sportal.gr that fans threw objects at him and spat in his face as he left the court after Tuesday's 72-55 win over Partizan at Belgrade Arena, which kept Panathinaikos perfect at 5-0. He said he never shies away from hostile atmospheres, but that nothing is done about the problem. Yabusele had 7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 20 minutes. Teammate Nigel Hayes-Davis called the arena one of the best in the world, as long as fans don't throw things or spit.
