“Partizan’s Setback Ahead of Clash with Mornar, PAO Faces Challenges Against Alba, Barça Shows Confidence Against Zalgiris”
In a crucial match for securing a position in the Euroleague playoffs or play-ins, Partizan basketball faced a significant setback.
Anadolu Efes delivered an impressive performance at the Belgrade Arena, decisively defeating Željko Obradović’s team with a score of 97:65.
The “Black and Whites” managed to stay competitive for the first ten minutes, but after falling behind by 22 points at halftime (54:32), the Turkish team launched a vigorous attack in the third quarter. When they extended their lead to 29, it became evident that this was not a night for Partizan fans to hold out hope for a comeback.
Partizan now finds it increasingly challenging to secure a spot in the knockout phase, slipping to 12th place with a record of 15 wins and 15 losses, just four rounds before the conclusion of the regular season.
Efes holds one more victory and a superior head-to-head record, while both Olimpija Milano and Real Madrid sit at 16-14.
