Game Recap: Partizan Mozzart Bet secured a convincing 94:72 victory over SC Derby in their Round 8 AdmiralBet ABA League Group A matchup. Although the visitors proved resilient throughout the first half, Partizan gradually established control and used a dominant second-half stretch to seal the win. The home side led 46:41 at the break before increasing their defensive intensity and offensive efficiency in the third and fourth quarters, ultimately creating an advantage SC Derby could no longer withstand.

Key Moments: SC Derby kept the game competitive in the opening two quarters, matching Partizan’s pace and staying within striking distance. The turning point arrived early in the third period when Partizan tightened its defensive approach and began stringing together successful possessions on the other end. A series of well-executed actions created separation, and from that point forward, the momentum shifted decisively.

By the time the final quarter began, Partizan held a comfortable lead and continued to build on it. Their consistency from the field and improved ball movement allowed them to maintain control and prevent SC Derby from mounting any significant challenge down the stretch. The hosts' third-quarter surge and composed closing frame proved decisive in securing the win.

Man of the Match: Jabari Parker delivered his most impactful performance of the season, finishing with a season-high 28 points on an efficient 11-for-14 shooting. Parker was particularly impressive from long range, connecting on six three-pointers and showcasing his full offensive arsenal. A memorable second quarter saw him score 15 consecutive points, offering a display of shot-making that energized the home crowd and firmly established him as the standout performer of the night.

His showing served as a significant boost for Partizan, illustrating the level of influence he can bring when in rhythm and providing valuable confidence ahead of upcoming challenges.

Can’t Trick the Stats: The shooting numbers tell the story of the night. Partizan’s accuracy was a defining factor in the result, as they converted 62.7% of their field-goal attempts, including 70% from two-point range and 50% from beyond the arc. SC Derby, by contrast, struggled to match that efficiency, finishing at 38.3% from the field, 40.7% inside the arc, and 36.4% from three-point distance.

The disparity in shot-making ultimately shaped the flow of the game. Partizan’s ability to score efficiently across all areas of the floor allowed them to build and maintain a comfortable margin, while SC Derby’s difficulties converting their opportunities made it challenging to keep pace. In the end, the numbers clearly reflected why Partizan emerged with a decisive win.
