Awesome Barcelona, did 3/3 and passed like a siphon from Belgrade!
The “blaugrana” won 92-83 against Partizan in the packed Stark Arena for the 3rd matchday of the Euroleague, thus continuing with the absolute victory in the competition (3-0). On the other hand, the Serbians stayed at 1-2 and failed to give a follow-up after the “double” in France against Villeurbanne.
Roger Grimau’s team controlled the balance of the game from start to finish, shooting 13/32 from 6.75 (41%) and had a big day from Nicolas Laprovitola who finished the game with 20 points, while his worthy supporters were Hernangomet and Da Silva with 15 and 13 points respectively. Very positive and Veseli who helped the most with 12 points and six rebounds.
On the opposite bank, Nunnally was the star with 14 points and three rebounds, Dozier fought with 13 and five assists, while Pander and LeDay were positive with 11 and 12 respectively.
The finale of the Devil’s Week sees Barcelona host Bayern Munich (20/10, 21:30), while Partizan come to SEF to face Olympiakos (20/10, 21:15).
The match
THE Partisan started with LeDay, Dozier, Pander, Nunnally and Koprivica in the starting five, with Barcelona to choose Da Silva, Lambrovitola, Vesely, Kalinic and Satoranski.
The first minutes of the match were balanced, with the guests taking a six-point difference (8-14) in the 6th minute, with Da Silva who had counted up to that point nine points. The hosts were then unsuccessful in their attempts to reduce the score, with the “Blaugrana” ending the first period with a lead of seven points (16-23).
In the second quarter, the offensive options of both teams improved and the game went point-to-point until the halfway point, while Partizan managed to take the lead (30-29) with a basket and a foul by Smilagic.
From then on, however, the space until the end of the first part belonged entirely to Barcelona! He “ran” a 15-4 with five accurate three-point shots, two of them “hot” Lamprovitola, with Roger Grimau’s team going to the locker room with a double-digit difference in his favor (34-44). The lead of the Spanish team at halftime was mainly based on its high percentage of 6.75 to 8/20, with the rebounds being in absolute balance (21-21), as well as almost the fouls (4-3 ).
