Partizan\u2019s basketball players came back from minus 15, but in the final minute they faltered and lost to Real Madrid 77:73 in the 28th round of the EuroLeague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cArena\u201d could not help but be full when Partizan\u2019s great rival arrived. The Madrid team was welcomed by that old black-and-white atmosphere, but also by a depleted opponent, who at the last moment was left without Dylan Osetkowski due to suspension, so with eleven players they had to fight this battle. He was missing inside, Cameron Payne was missing on the outside, and it was immediately noticeable and made the job easier for the visitors\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After an even quarter, in which Nick Calathes did an excellent job both in scoring and organization, the host fell in the second. Two runs by the guests created a double-digit difference, and the team of Joan Pe\u00f1arroya responded more strongly in the second part of the quarter, however, the inspired Trey Lyles, their problems with three-point shooting and the trouble that Real\u2019s defense caused Dwayne Washington, whom they primarily wanted to stop, took their toll and the black-and-whites went into halftime with a ten-point deficit (33:43).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
