Antonio Reeves precisou de um arremesso para fazer a estreia valer pelo Partizan: com 26 segundos no relógio, ele acertou o jumper que decidiu a vitória por 82 a 80 fora de casa, no Spartak Subotica.
Foi a quarta vitória seguida do time de Joan Penarroya na Liga ABA, menos de 48 horas depois do dérbi de Belgrado. Carlik Jones foi poupado, então Reeves, que havia chegado na quinta-feira, entrou direto no cinco inicial.
O Spartak ameaçou a zebra. Ethan Thompson marcou 21 dos seus 23 pontos antes do intervalo, e os donos da casa lideravam por 72 a 61 no começo do último quarto. A energia de Alessandro Pajola virou o jogo; Reeves fechou o serviço.
Reeves terminou com 11 pontos e três assistências. Kevarrius Hayes o acompanhou com 11, marcando tudo depois do intervalo, enquanto Pajola somou três pontos, cinco assistências e dois roubos. Nikolic liderou o Spartak com 19, com Drobnjak contribuindo com 12 e sete assistências.
Em Laktasi, o Crvena zvezda saiu com vitória por 81 a 80 sobre o Igokea, dois dias depois de perder o dérbi. Os comandados de Ibon Navarro demoraram a se acertar e foram para o intervalo atrás dos donos da casa.
Chima Moneke entregou a sequência decisiva no fim: um toco e depois uma cesta de contra-ataque. O Igokea ainda tinha a bola e uma chance, mas David Kramer bloqueou a tentativa de Delalic.
Tyson Carter liderou o Zvezda com 18; Jared Butler fez 15, Ognjen Dobric 12 no retorno, Moneke 10. Lazar Stefanovic puxou o Igokea com 18.
O Dubai está 4-0 depois de vencer o Bosna por 93 a 83 em Sarajevo, sexta vitória seguida em todas as competições desde a derrota para o Crvena zvezda na Euroliga.
Mfiondu Kabengele empacotou 17 pontos e 10 rebotes em 20 minutos, depois de fazer 24 com sete rebotes contra o Bayern em Munique. Kosta Kondic também fez 17, Filip Petrusev 13 com oito rebotes. Elie Okobo acrescentou 12 e oito assistências enquanto Xavi Pascual rodava o elenco de novo; os 20 pontos e nove rebotes de Reggie Perry e os 18 de Deandre Gholston não bastaram para o Bosna.
