Tyrique Jones dunks! Motorola Magic Moment
Partizan debutant Mitar Bosnjakovic struck first before Alex Abrines got Barca moving with a triple. Sterling Brown hit from deep and Carlik Jones added a driving layup, answered by Vesely from mid-range for a 7-7 tie. Isaac Bonga was on target with a three and 3 free throws. Tyrique Jones added a fastbreak slam for a 15-9 lead. Carlik Jones struck another triple and added a layup to make it a double-digit advantage, 21-11. Justin Anderson and Punter brought Barca back with threes, but Brown’s reverse layup completed the first quarter scoring, 23-19.
Chimezie Metu’s layup and Juan Nunez’s tip-in tied it up before Vesely and Pokusevski traded three-point plays. Brandon Davies scored a tough inside bucket, but Parker’s triple made it 30-31. Metu kept Barca ahead and Parker added a deep strike followed by free throws for a 32-40 lead. Metu’s brutal slam and layup capped a 0-13 run for a double-digit lead, before Bonga’s putback rescued the host. But Parker made another triple and Dario Brizuela beat the halftime buzzer with a floater, making it 35-49 at the break.
Punter scored the first 5 points of the second half, following a triple with a classy layup, and Abrines made it a 22-point margin from long-range. Partizan had only free throws from Brown as Parker added consecutive scores for a 40-63 lead. Nunez glided to the basket to score, before Tyrique Jones finally netted the home team’s first field goal of the half. Carlik Jones with a layup and Brandon Davies with a triple pulled Partizan closer and another Carlik Jones three made it 58-70 at the end of the third.
Punter and Justin Anderson kept Barca moving early in the fourth despite a three-point play from Carlik Jones, but Partizan kept fighting and a pair of buckets from Boznjakovic pulled it back to 65-76. Anderson’s layup was bettered by Duane Washington’s three, and Frank Ntilikina’s triple made it a single-digit margin, 71-78, with three minutes left. Pokusevski added another three-pointer and Iffe Lundberg made free throws to complete an 11-0 run, but Punter’s jumper settled Barca at 76-80. Lundberg made 3 more from the line, but Abrines responded with a triple. Partizan’s offense could offer no more, and another Punter jumper sealed the deal.
