(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Barcelona defeated Partizan in the 21st round of the EuroLeague at the \u201cBlaugrana\u201d arena by a score of 88:70 (13:20, 28:15, 21:15, 26:20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partizan\u2019s basketball players were defeated once again in the EuroLeague, as they fell away from home against Barcelona in the 21st round of Europe\u2019s elite competition, despite opening the game quite well\u2014perhaps their best start since Joan Pe\u00f1arroya took over\u201488:70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a lackluster defensive performance from the second quarter until the end of the game allowed Barcelona to quickly take control, compounded by a large number of turnovers by the Belgrade team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona established its trademark inside game and gradually took complete control, managing to keep Partizan at arm\u2019s length throughout the entire second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partizan\u2019s first quarter at the \u201cBlaugrana\u201d was truly excellent. The black-and-whites entered the game well organized, played very solid defense, and effectively prevented Barcelona from scoring any easy baskets. Led by an inspired Bruno Fernando, Nick Calathes, and Tonye Jekiri, they built a seven-point advantage after the opening ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">1\/4 | EuroLeague round 21 | \ud83d\udccdBarcelona \u26ab\ufe0f\u26aa\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FCBbasket?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FCBbasket<\/a> 13 &#8211; 20 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/KKPartizan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#KKPartizan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3c8tco8mvn\">pic.twitter.com\/3c8tco8mvn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; KK Partizan Mozzart Bet (@PartizanBC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PartizanBC\/status\/2009713831732543611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the very start of the second quarter opened up a series of problems for Partizan. The defense collapsed like a house of cards, and after just 30 seconds the home team erased the black-and-whites\u2019 lead and soon after took the advantage themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partizan managed to stay level until the very end of the first half, but then again linked several weak defensive possessions and lost their offensive ideas. Bonga and Washington missed several three-pointers rather easily, while Barcelona capitalized on their chances and went into halftime with a six-point lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third quarter was everything Partizan fans have grown accustomed to over the past few months. With no energy on defense and a huge number of mistakes, the black-and-whites practically served Barcelona\u2019s players baskets on a platter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The home team did not hesitate to take advantage of the gifts and quickly built a double-digit lead. Partizan did stabilize somewhat toward the end of the third quarter and did not allow the margin to skyrocket, but it was clear that Bar\u00e7a had full control of the situation. The Spaniards entered the final ten minutes with a 12-point advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona quickly finished the job, and everything became clear after Shengelia\u2019s three-pointer pushed the lead to +15 midway through the final quarter. It was the final blow, from which the black-and-whites were unable to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was Partizan\u2019s sixth consecutive EuroLeague defeat, with the losing streak starting after the eternal derby against Crvena Zvezda. With this new victory, Barcelona improved to a 14\u20137 record and climbed to the very top of the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week, Olympiacos will visit Belgrade to face Partizan, while Barcelona head to Madrid for El Cl\u00e1sico against Real Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/born-on-christmas-died-on-christmas-eve-the-oldest-resident-of-the-zlatibor-region-grandpa-petar-passes-away-at-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BORN ON CHRISTMAS, DIED ON CHRISTMAS EVE: The Oldest Resident of the Zlatibor Region, Grandpa Petar, Passes Away at 101!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/without-power-since-christmas-eve-residents-of-krupanj-villages-furious-at-the-state-elderly-sick-and-children-at-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">WITHOUT POWER SINCE CHRISTMAS EVE: Residents of Krupanj Villages Furious at the State, Elderly, Sick, and Children at Risk!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/u-s-senate-considers-bill-to-impose-500-tariffs-on-countries-continuing-to-buy-russian-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">U.S. SENATE CONSIDERS BILL TO IMPOSE 500% TARIFFS ON COUNTRIES CONTINUING TO BUY RUSSIAN ENERGY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/total-economic-colonization-venezuela-will-buy-exclusively-products-made-in-the-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cTOTAL ECONOMIC COLONIZATION\u201d: Venezuela will buy exclusively products made in the USA!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/tucker-carlson-warns-america-is-preparing-for-a-world-war-this-trump-decision-proves-it-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TUCKER CARLSON WARNS: America is preparing for a World war, this Trump decision proves it!
