Game recap: Partizan NIS aren’t giving up on their Playoffs ambitions this season! With the debut of their new head coach Nenad Čanak, they have returned onto the winning track, after three straight defeats. On the other side, MZT Skopje Aerodrom keep waiting for the end of their crisis, which put them on the very bottom of the league standings – they haven’t celebrated a victory since the fourth round, when they have beaten Igokea.

Key moments: Everything was decided in the opening quarter. After MZT Skopje Aerodrom have gone off to a flying start (8:2 in their favour after minute and a half), Partizan NIS fought back with a 28:10 run over the next seven minutes and led 32:19 as the first quarter has ended. They haven’t allowed the guests to threaten their lead again until the end of the game.

Man of the match: Mihajlo Andrić was perfect for the black and white. In 29 minutes spent on court he scored just as many points, while adding 2 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal to his stats. He had a valuation of 27 at the end of the game and is our man of the match!

Can't trick the stats: Partizan NIS were shooting 3-pointers 53.6% (15/28). That was just too amazing not to celebrate a blowout win in the end.
