Partizan had no trouble against Borac from Cacak on their home court, outplaying them with a score of 101-56 in the ABA League‘s ninth round.
Kevin Punter, Aleksa Avramovic, and Uros Trifunovic were absent for the home team, while the guests were without Danilo Tasic and Djoko Salic.
The black-and-white team didn’t start the game aggressively. They allowed Borac’s guards to find their rhythm, and turnovers negated their early offensive efforts. However, halfway through the first quarter, Partizan secured a double-digit lead with consecutive three-pointers. The reigning champions intensified their pace, heading into halftime with a comfortable 55-29 advantage.
In the continuation of the game, Partizan showcased their full strength. They shot an impressive 70% from the field and 30% from beyond the arc, highlighting the success of their offense. Gradually, the match seemed to turn into a real debacle for the visitors, especially after the home team built a lead of 40 points. Once that happened, the remainder of the game was routine for the black-and-white team.
Tristan Vukcevic led the winners with 24 points, while Ronaldo Segu stood out for the visitors with 16 points.
In the next round, Partizan visits FMP, while Borac Cacak hosts Buducnost.
