ABA League 9th round, Saturday, 7.11.2015:
PARTIZAN NIS - Budućnost VOLI 86:77 (22:30, 21:12, 25:19, 18:16)
Game recap: Partizan NIS have suffered some very painful defeats in the past couple of weeks, but the players showed amazing reaction. In the game against Budućnost VOLI, the leader on the standings, Belgrade crew have played perhaps their best game so far in the season. Even though they had problems at the start of the match, the black and whites woke up in the second quarter and made a big comeback worth two points at the end.
Key moments: There were two of them and both are three-pointers at the buzzer! Danilo Anđušić managed to beat the clock at the end of the third quarter for 68:61, and that basket really heated up the atmosphere in Pionir Hall. The second one came in crucial moments in the last period. Budućnost VOLI were reducing the margin, they approached to 76:72, but Aleksandar Cvetković scored a very difficult three pointer at the buzzer that pushed Partizan NIS toward a win.
Man of the match: Home side had 5 players with double figures, while the top scorer was Kevin Jones with 18 points. He was simply unstoppable down in the paint and it really seems that Partizan NIS got a very, very big reinforcement when signing American power forward.
Can't trick the stats: Budućnost VOLI scored 30 points in the first quarter mostly because they made 6 three-pointers. Omar Cook and Devoe Joseph made 3 each, but listen to this - In the remaining 30 minutes the whole away crew scored only 2 more three-pointers!
