Disaster for Partizan mt:s in Madrid
Partizan mt:s missed another one “match ball” to qualify to top 16 phase of Turkish Airlines Euroleague. They lost in Madrid against Real Madrid 101:83 (27:15, 25:22, 24:19, 25:27).
As all we expected Partizan need to wait the last game in regular season of Turkish Airlines Euroleague to see if they will go further in top 16 phase or finish Euroleague competition for this season.
At next Thursday they will host EA7 Armani in Belgrade and try to win and qualify to top 16 phase. In game 5 in away game Partizan mt:s won against EA7 Armani 65:69.
Let’s get back to tonight’s game in Madrid. When you receive 101 points only things that you can expect is to lose game. Terrible defense, Real players had great percentage for 2 and 3 points.
It is obvious that Miroslav Raduljica cannot play at level as all we expect. It is big difference between him and Nikola Pekovic and that is the main reason that Partizan had problems in last few games.
Milan Macvan with 16 points was the best player in Black and Whites team. Vladimir Lucic added 13, and Rasko Katic 12 points.
For Real Madrid, Jaycee Carroll added 22 points, Nikola Mirotic 20 and Felipe Reyes 15.
If we compare teams, Real Madrid had 30 reabounds in total, Partizan mt:s 24. For three points, Real Madrid had 8/16 50%, Partizan mt:s had 7/16 43%. For two points, Real Madrid had 26/39 66%, Partizan mt:s 21/45 46%.
EA7 Armani demolishes Belgacom Spirou 88:53, and it seems that Partizan mt:s will have tough game next Thursday.
