Partizan mt:s topped Crvena Zvezda Diva in Game 1 in Serbian Super league final. Final score was 92:83, by quarters 23:14, 22:21, 19:28, 28:20.

The best thing in first 20 minutes was atmosphere in Pionir Arena. Well crowded, with about 6.000 spectators.

Crvena Zvezda Diva had terrible first 20 minutes and they had only -10 after first half. It is amazing that they didn’t play better. No defense, no ideas in offense, that it is short.

Partizan mt:s had great percentage for 2 and 3 points and it is unbelievable that Crvena Zvezda Diva allowed so much wide open shots.

Players of Crvena Zvezda Diva looked bit confused, and it was obvious that they don’t play as their coach Svetislav Pesic expected.

They started this game with few good offenses, and after that like they stopped to play defense.

And as all we expected much much better game in third quarter. I may say fantastic game in third quarter, much better defense for Crvena Zvezda Diva and they finished third quarter with -1.

Partizan mt:s had a lot of problems on aggressive defense and they had several turnovers only in that third quarter.

Still very good and interesting game in last quarter as both teams played well and we saw a lot of good defenses and attractive moves.

Dragan Milosavljevic led Partizan mt:s with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Danilo Andjusic scored 16 points (3/5 for 3 points), Dominic James scored 15 points and added 5 assists.

For Crvena Zvezda Diva, Omar Thomas scored 21 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and 5 steals. Bojan Subotic scored 13 points, and Nemanja Nedovic and Bojan Popovic added 10 points each.

This Game 1 was a great start of this Final series in Serbian Super league and I am sure that all next games will be like this one.

Game 2 is scheduled for Friday, June 8, at 20.00 CET in Pionir Arena but this time Crvena Zvezda Diva will be host, so the most of fans in Pionir Arena will be Crvena Zvezda Diva fans.
