The Montenegrin coach returned to winning ways in style - Duško Ivanović and Virtus were convincing against Partizan in the 16th round of the Euroleague 86:78.
The giant from Bologna celebrated after two consecutive defeats in the championship and Europe (to Armani and Hapoel), and with the triumph in the "Belgrade Arena" it recorded its second away triumph this season in the basketball elite.
Virtus is now at 8-8, while Partizan, who lost their first match since Željko Obradović's departure, and under the leadership of Mirko Ocokoljić (who has recorded four wins in all competitions), has so far recorded six triumphs and 10 losses.
The fact that Ivanovic's team celebrated in the Serbian capital for the third year in a row speaks volumes about how much Belgrade pleases them.
Partizan played a good first half, had the lead, held on for a long time during the third quarter, but then Virtus' furious finish to that part followed, and on the wings of Derrick Allston Jr., they went for a huge plus 18...
The winning team was led by Carsen Edwards with 20 points, as well as Allston and Matt Morgan with 14 each. For Partizan, Sterling Brown scored 15 points, and Dwayne Washington 14.
