Carlik Jones racked up 14 points, 5 boards and as many assists while Tyrique Jones chipped in with 13 points for Partizan, which won the battle of the boards 34-27 and shot 29 of 44 from inside, where the hosts totally subdued the Turkish giant.

On Friday night, the 1992 EuroLeague champion relied on several players to share the workload on offense as Tyrique Jones stood out in the first quarter when he scored 8 points in just four minutes on the court, having gotten into foul trouble early in the game.
The home team carved out a 25-21 lead in the opening 10 minutes and carried the momentum into the second quarter, with Carlik Jones taking over as he produced several superb plays. The point guard drained a couple of three-pointers to light up the Belgrade Arena, with the festive home fans in full swing ahead of the New Year’s Eve and Orthodox Christmas holidays.
Having led 47-38 at halftime, Partizan remained in cruise control early in the third quarter as Isiaha Mike galvanized the home fans with a steal and a ferocious slam dunk on the break which had the hosts still firmly in front, 51-42.
Fenerbahce then enjoyed its best spell of the game and quickly slashed the deficit to 54-52, hitting back with a flurry of shots from deep and mid-range. Mike then sank a triple to get Partizan back on track and the home side never looked back as Washington, who scored 19 points in the second half, stole the show in the fourth quarter.
The final 10 minutes also saw visiting head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius ejected for a double technical foul as his frustration boiled over with Partizan 76-63 ahead. Any hopes of a comeback Fenerbahce might have had were vanquished as Washington sank a long three off the dribble followed by a tough floater, giving the home team a commanding 81-66 advantage heading into the home straight.
There was time and space for the jugular in Partizan’s last play of the game as Tyrique Jones had the home fans in raptures after a monster slam off the glass thanks to an unselfish assist from Mike, drawing a standing ovation from a full house.
