Last Saturday, a basketball melee broke out at the end of the match between Russian Superleague clubs BC Lokomotiv Kuban and Dynamo Moscow that involved players, referees, coaches, and fans.

With Lokomomtiv pulling out a hard-fought 94-91 double-overtime win over Dynamo, the players from Moscow confronted the head referee after the game. Check out the video below:

Immediately after the buzzer, Sergey Bykov (#10) approaches the head referee, confronts him, and swings his fists wildly (at no one) in disgust. At this point, former Los Angeles Clipper Sergey Monya (#12) joins the fray.

The 6-3 Bykov then lunges at the referee. Game officials push the guard away and this is when the action escalates.

A Dynamo player in his warmup shirt, 7-1 center Aleksey Savrasenko, comes to “defend” Bykov, and begins shoving officials into the stands.

At some point, something triggers the 6-8 Monya. The former NBA player begins flailing and punching; violently going after one of the officials.

Several Dynamo players were fined and suspended and both clubs were also given heavy fines for participation and Lokomotiv was penalized for not providing adequate security.

From BallinEurope: And oh yes, there were fines and suspensions. Sergei Monyu got slapped with a 50,000 ruble (approximately €1,166 / $1,750) bill and a one-game suspension for aggression toward a ref; the federation press service later reported that Alexei Savrasenko would also be paying up the same amount for the same offense. Dynamo CEO George Drozdov is to pony up 1 million rubles (€23,325 / $34,650) for his player’s participation in the events. Interestingly enough, the league also ruled that “in light of the financial crisis,” Dynamo could instead choose to simply forfeit the next five games in lieu of paying the fine.

As for Lokomotiv Kuban, the directorate ruled that the team should pay 105,000 rubles (€2,450/ $3,650) for failing to provide proper security. The real killer for Lokomotiv, though, was the ruling that the team would be disallowed from hosting a quarterfinal match in the Russian Cup competition and would have to play Lokomotiv Sibirtelecom Novosibirsk on a neutral site. This judgment was appealed and overturned two days later.
