Even closer to its historic qualification to the Euroleague playoffs has arrived They were partisansafter the team of the great Željko Obradović, destroyed in Istanbul the Ephesus (84-97) and continues to drive all of Europe crazy with the basketball he plays!
After this result the Serbs moved up to 16-13 their record, having the first reason to pass to the next phase, while on the other hand the Turks who “stepped” on it, retreated to the 14-15 and they see the octet… waving a handkerchief!
The match
With two three-pointers by Bryant, Efes managed to escape to +8 (10-2) early on, with only Papapetrou finding a basket from the Partizan side. From 13-6 onwards, with Micic in front, the Turks reached +17 (23-6), with the Serbs unable to do anything at all. Still, they found some baskets towards the end of the first quarter with Exum and somewhat rallied the situation (23-11).

Željko Obradović’s team seemed to… turn the switch and in the second period everything turned upside down! Leday, Lessor and Nanali reduced within four minutes to one point (25-24)! For the first time they even managed to overtake the score (30-31), while they also reached +4, with Abramović and Pander, while the home team simply reduced to two for the half time (37-39).
At the beginning of the third quarter, Partizan opened the gap even to +7 (37-44), but Bryant and Clyburn turned it around again for Efes (50-47). From then on, it followed with a continuous change in the lead, between the Turks and the Serbs, the biggest difference being just +3, while finally Ataman’s total was +1 (64-63).
The 72-71 with which the hosts were in front, turned into… abbreviated procedures into 72-87 with a 16-point run by the Serbs! With the difference remaining at these levels the Turks had surrendered, the modest ceremony came to an end and the final 84-97 proves it!
