Luigi Gatome Was Hit By an Object From The Stands, Had His Forehead Bloodied in Fenerbahce Win over Galatasaray

You know exactly that the passion that every spectator when you see or hear them shouting from the stands have even when the game is already over. However, throwing an object while mixed up in the crowd that might hurt anybody isn't exactly a good variation of it. 

Following Fenerbache's victory over Galatasaray Odeabank, Italian forward Gigi Datome may have ended up as victors but was at the bad side of a throwing incident, resulting to his being hit at the left side of his forehead. The item hit him so hard that the 6-foot-8 Datome was seen bleeding walking back to the dug-out based on reports from Eurohoops

On his verified Facebook fanpage, Datome, who had stints with the Detroit Pistons and the Boston Celtics in the NBA, posted his image with his wound and the blood rushing to his left eye. He even described the incident as "raining hundreds of 'coins and tons of lighters'" 

Despite the unfortunate post-game incident, the ponytailed wingman is still thankful that his team got the win against their rival. He, though, insisted that sports environment should be different. 

Galatasaray was dictating the game from the opening whistle, finishing both quarters in the first half holding the lead against the yellows. German center Tibor Pleiss and Austin Daye were dominating the shaded lane that kept the game out of reach for Fenerbahce in the first half, 41-28. 

Fenerbahce emerged from the dug-out with more energy and battled head-to-toe with the reds. Ali Mohamed and Bogdan Bogdanovic took care of the offensive attack by Fenerbahce to cut the deficit to a more manageable 6-point lead, 56-50. 

With the momentum shifted to their side, Jan Vesely and Bogdanovic led the team with their timely baskets while engaging into a scoring battle with Pleiss and Sinan Guler.  Fenerbahce outscored Galatasaray by 10 during the final frame, 29-19, enough to finish the game with a 4-point cushion in dramatic fashion to the delight of the home crowd. 

On his Twitter account @GigiDatome, he made fun of the incident by comparing himself to Harry Potter after Lord Voldemort's attack. He even mentioned its renowned author J. K. Rowling in hopes of knowing the writer more.
