Partizan’s basketball team secured their third consecutive victory, marking their 12th win in the EuroLeague. In Round 32, the Black-and-Whites defeated Paris 91:80 on the road (17:20, 29:23, 20:14, 24:24).

From the start, Partizan showed high-intensity play. The visitors controlled the game in the first minutes, though Paris kept pace and kept the match close.

The turning point came in the third and fourth quarters, when Partizan, led by Nick Kalathes and Jekiri, built a lead that Paris could not overcome. Three-pointers, steals, and fast transitions were key to the Black-and-Whites’ dominance.

The first quarter was fiercely contested. Partizan quickly took the lead through Bonga and Kalik Jones, while Paris responded with runs and three-pointers, keeping the score tight. In the second quarter, Nick Kalathes shined, hitting crucial shots and making steals, while Shake Milton and Isaac Bonga maintained offensive rhythm. The first half ended 46:43 in favor of Partizan, with constant back-and-forth action.

The third and fourth quarters belonged to Partizan. Kalathes, Pokusevski, and Jekiri dominated offensively, creating fast breaks and sinking crucial threes. Jekiri, in particular, nearly single-handedly broke down Paris’ defense in the final minutes, giving Partizan a double-digit lead and leaving the hosts little room to recover.

Sterling Brown led the winners with 17 points, while Jekiri added 15. Nick Kalathes finished with a double-double of 12 points and 12 assists. For Paris, Hifi scored 23 points.

Partizan now sits at 12-20 in the EuroLeague standings, while Paris is 12-21. Despite the win, the Belgraders are no longer in contention for the Top 10.
