Game recap: Partizan Mozzart Bet have scored another convincing win in the ongoing season as they defeated Cibona at home court by 96:67.

Although the final score suggests that this was an easy job for the Belgrade giant, actually the black-and-whites struggled for more than 20 minutes. Partizan Mozzart Bet were down by 6 at the halftime – 36:42, but then everything changed after the break.

Partizan Mozzart Bet have returned on the court determined to turn the things in their favor and by the final score you can see that they fulfilled their mission. Just take a look at the 2^nd half score. The home side won the 2^nd half by 60:25 and they grabbed another important win in the 2023/24 campaign.

Partizan Mozzart Bet are therefore still undefeated in the ongoing season as they now have the overall score of 3-0, while on the other side Cibona have the overall score of 0-3.

Key moments: This time, we better rename this part of the game report to "Key man" as James Nunnally was once again the player who stepped up in difficult moments for Partizan Mozzart Bet. Nunnally scored 14 points in the 3^rd quarter to start the black-and-white engines and after that the whole team started playing much better.

Man of the match: That would be Nunnally, of course, as he finished the match with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, for just 17 minutes spent on court. Yet, we should also mention the performance of Balša Koprivica who scored 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

Can’t trick the stats: Turnovers were a big problem for Cibona this evening, especially in the 2^nd half. Cibona had 21 turnovers today, while Partizan Mozzart Bet had just 6.
