Partizan’s Pre-Duel Misstep Against Mornar; PAO Faces Challenges with Alba; Barça Exudes Confidence Against Zalgiris
In a crucial matchup for a spot in the Euroleague playoffs or play-ins, the Partizan basketball team suffered a significant defeat.
Anadolu Efes showcased their skills at the Belgrade Arena, dominating Željko Obradović’s squad with a final score of 97:65.
The “Black and Whites” managed to stay competitive during the first quarter, but by halftime, they were down by 22 points (54:32). The Turkish team exploded in the third quarter, extending their lead to 29 points, making it evident that a comeback for Partizan was unlikely that night.
The race for a place in the knockout stage is becoming increasingly challenging, as Partizan has slipped to 12th place with just four rounds left in the regular season, holding a record of 15 wins and 15 losses.
Efes currently has one more victory and a superior head-to-head record, while both Olimpija Milano and Real Madrid sit at 16-14.
