Game recap: One thing is certain - Partizan NIS will remain at the 2nd spot on the standings at least until the next weekend! Belgrade squad prevailed over MZT Skopje Aerodrom at home court and extended their winning streak in the ABA League. The black & white crew needed more than 30 minutes to break the resistance of the visitors, but eventually they did it in the last quarter... Mostly thanks to their captain Novica Veličković, who played an outstanding game.

Man of the match: Without any doubt - Novica Veličković! The captain of Partizan NIS has returned on court after missing two games due to injury and he was simply outstanding this evening. Veličković finished the match with 21 points and 5 rebounds, while his overall index rating was 23.

Can't trick the stats: Partizan NIS made 10 three-pointers in this match, which is twice as much as MZT Skopje Aerodrom made. Also, the home side had 10 offensive rebounds...
