In Podgorica, Partizan justified its role as the favorite, defeating the basketball players of SC Derbi 80:60 for the fourth victory in as many matches in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
It was a match that the "black and white" controlled practically the entire time, except for the period in the third quarter when the "students" seriously threatened.
"We had less than 48 hours between the game with Real and this one, and that's never easy. We did one training session, and we had quite a few problems. Brendon Davis and Vanja Marinković played the match without training, Tajrik Jones was not even in the team, while Sterling Braun played because he asked for it. I want to thank the three of them", said Partizan coach Željko Obradović.
SC Derbi has the respect of a coach who was European champion nine times in his career.
"I congratulate my colleague Petr Mijović. He is doing a great job with a young team that plays very good basketball. I also have to thank the hospitality that I always receive in Podgorica, thank you to the fans of both teams, especially the fans of Partizan," said Obradović.
