Incredible things happened on the floor of the “WiZink Center”, just before the final of the match between Real Madrid and Partisan for Game 2 of the Euroleague playoffs series!
Specifically, 1:40′ before the end of the match and with the score at +15 for 95-80 of the Serbs, a harsh branding of him Yule upon Pander caused generalized conflict between the players, who became a tangle in the center of the field, turning the parquet into a ring, with the players engaging in an incredible and unprecedented in the annals of the Euroleague, kick patina.

Given that the benches of the two teams entered the field of play, according to the regulations, the refereeing trio should have sent them off as they did, resulting in a match to stop permanently! Indicative is how ONLY Rudy Fernandez he did not enter the floor, which was also written on the match sheet.
Which practically means that the luck of the match will judged in the courtrooms…
The match:
With the psychology at the height, but also the… aura of “break” in Game 1, the Partisan came into the game very strongly, starting with one quick 9-0 in the first three minutes. After a sluggish start, Real Madrid found some easy points to cut the gap to 4 (7-11) in the 5th minute, before the game explosion of Dante Exum, who with 11 points in the first quarter sent the difference at +10 for 31-21 of the quarter!
By Hezonia scoring five points in a row and “unstuck” his team offensively, the Spaniards reduced it to three at the beginning of the second period (28-31) at 13′. Despite the reaction of the home team, Partizan not only did not stress, on the contrary, with a terrible partial score 16-4 in the next five minutes with forwards Kevin Pander and Alen Smilagić, he shot the difference for the first time to +15 for 47-32 in 18′. Moussa and Poirier pulled things together for Real, however, shots from Papapetrou and Nunali in the final sent the visitors to the dressing room with +14 for the 51-37 of the half!
The scene was different at the beginning of the third period, as it was certain that Real Madrid would react in the second half. Something that Chus Mateo’s team did to a point, gnawing away at the difference up to them 5 points for 53-48 at 25′. Somewhere there, Partizan’s offensive engine took the lead, which, taking advantage of the home team’s hard play, finding easy points from the line of shots, increased the difference to double digits again, closing the quarter at +13 and 75-62.
In the fourth quarter, Partizan managed to keep the difference at high levels, not allowing Real to reduce the difference below 12. And while the match had entered its final stretch with the Serbians leading by +15 for 95 -80, Yule’s hard foul on Panther came, putting “fire” in the match.
The quarters: 21-31, 37-51, 62-75. 80-95 (BREAK)
