A disputed refereeing decision led to chaos and a suspension in a semifinal of the Chinese women's basketball league on Thursday.

 

The frenzy happened in the dying moments of the match between Liaoning Hengye and Shenyang Budui after the technical delegate annulled Liaoning's last shot that could have helped Liaoning win the game 71-69.

 

The revise enraged the home supporters. The score was reset at 69-69 and the game was suspended after furious fans threw bottles on the court.

 

The game resumed after spectators were appeased and Liaoning won 79-75 in overtime at last.
