In Game 12 of Serbian Super league, Crvena Zvezda Diva hosted Partizan mt:s. In derby game and Game of the week, Partizan mt:s won 83:78 after overtime.

Most of Basketball fans in Serbia were looking forward for this game. I am sure that after first 20 minutes they were pretty disappointed.

30:28 for Crvena Zvezda Diva after first 20 minutes. It is not problem about low result, but game quality was pretty low.

Many turnovers, actually 22 turnovers in 20 minutes (both teams by 11), complaints about referees decisions, free-throw low percentage marked this game in first half.

Atmosphere in Pionir Sport Hall was good, but some of spectators were throwing coins and lighters on the court. I don’t really understand that kind of people.

In years before, in these derby games we always had full Pionir Sport Hall with about 7-8.000 fans, but now it is not like that.

I was hoping that we will watch better game in second half.

Quite better game in second half but still with lot of turnovers, nervous and not well organized game.

Both teams had their ups and downs, and Crvena Zvezda Diva finished third quarter with +1, 53:52.

What a nervous game in last quarter, again many turnovers, stupid quick shots and I really couldn’t believe what’s going on.

In some moments it looked like there could be some problems on the court. Rasko Katic were hit in head with something from spectators, mostly Crvena Zvezda Diva fans.

Stupid unsportsmanlike foul for Andreja Milutinovic and Partizan mt:s came to -1 in 2:20 to go. In next 30 seconds, Partizan mt:s had +1.

Much better free-throw percentage in second half for both teams.

Unbelievable, first Bojan Popovic lost ball, actually Dominic James stole ball from Popovic and scored easy lay-up. In next offense, Bojan Popovic made offensive foul, and actually gave this game in hands of Partizan mt:s 37 seconds to go.

Turnover for Danilo Andjusic and ball for Crvena Zvezda Diva in last 20 seconds, Partizan mt:s had +1.

2 free-throws for Filip Covic, he made only one, 67:67. Dominic James missed open shot and we had overtime.

As one of TV commentators said, regular part of this game lasts two hours. Pretty strange game, but very exciting in last several minutes.

In overtime, same things, turnovers, run and gun philosophy, nervous. It was obvious that players of both teams are pretty tired.

I was just thinking, is it necessary to tell players that in such moments of the game you shouldn’t hurry with shooting, that they should play long offenses. They should know that, right?

In right moment Petar Bozic came on the court after Dominic James got 5th personal foul. In next offense Bozic scored 3 points, and it was 78:73 for Partizan mt:s, less than 1:30 to go.

83:78 for Partizan mt:s at the end of this game. Crvena Zvezda Diva had chances but they can be sorry for not used chances they had.

Partizan mt:s used all experience they had and finally I may say that they deserved this win. Milan Macvan led Partizan mt:s with 21 points and 9 rebounds, Dominic James and Vladimir Lucic scored 14 points each.

Omar Thomas had great role for Crvena Zvezda Diva as he scored 25 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Mile Ilic scored 18 points and had 8 rebounds.
