Partizan basketball players tied two victories in the Euroleague in 48 hours, and the second of the season came on the road.
It was registered at the Belgrade hall "Aleksandar Nikolić", and it was against Maccabi - 91:79, so the team of Željko Obradović has a half-hearted performance after four rounds.
In the first half, the Israelis had as many as 16 offensive rebounds and a total of 14 more than the opponent, and with a 10:0 run, they gained a 20:46 advantage after 42 minutes.
At the start of the second half, they led 48:42, and after that, a different Partizan was seen - above all, much better defensively, and Sterling Brown, Frank Nilikina and Karlik Jones took matters into their own hands in the attack. The difference grew until the final plus 12.
Brown led the "black and white" with 20 points, Isak Bonga scored 14, Karlik Jones and Ife Lundberg scored 11 each, so Partizan won away from home in the Euroleague after 11 losses - the first time since December 2023 and the duel with Valencia.
In Maccabi, which is also at 2-2, Livaj Randolph was the most effective with 19 goals.
In the replay of the final from last season, Real was better than Panathinaikos (90:86) to end the mini-series of two defeats (in the Endesa League and the Euroleague), so now PAO is the one who tied two failures, after losing in Paris.
Facundo Campaco had 19 points, six assists and five rebounds, Džanan Musa had 15 points, and on the other side, Kendrick Nunn was the best with 23.
Žalgiris had a sensational comeback in Milan, although four minutes and nine seconds before the end of the third quarter, they lost 62:35.
The second biggest turnaround in EuroLeague history was seen, as Andrea Trinkieri's team triumphed 85:82 by winning the final period 37:16.
Dovidas Gedraitis had 21 points, Silvan Fransisko 17, and Nikola Mirotić's double-double (17 and 11 caught balls) is memorable for the hosts.
Bayern is also at 2-2 after a hard job against Paris in Munich - 109:107.
As many as 80 points for the Bavarians were scored by the trio Karsen Edwards - Shabazz Napier - Devin Booker (32+27+21), and Parisian playmaker TJ Shortz missed a layup for the visitors' victory.
Fenerbahçe overcame a heavy defeat against Red Star in Istanbul and responded by visiting Alba - they won 78:71 in Berlin with 14 points from Nigel Hayes Davis.
It is Fener's third triumph, and Alba is at 1-3.
