The Jones duo gets the crowd going! Motorola Magic Moment
Walker nailed a pair of triples and Edgaras Ulanovas had a three-point play, but Carlik Jones was dishing assists and Tyrique Jones was dominating inside. Back-to-back triples from Vanja Marinkovic and Sterling Brown helped open a 15-9 lead for the hosts. Partizan's two Joneses also connected for an alley-oop, but Matthew Mitchell and Walker each nailed a three-pointer to make it 22-19 after 10 minutes.
Manek knocked down a transition triple, but a three from Brown and baskets from Duane Washington and Ntilikina put Partizan up 32-24. Walker strung together 8 points, including a pair of threes, that all but erased the deficit, 34-32. Ntilikina hit a triple, but so did Manek. While Laurynas Birutis scored twice inside, Tyrique Jones had a three-point play and the hosts held a 44-41 edge at halftime.
The threes were raining at the start of the third quarter. Ulanovas started the run of threes, and Giedraitis hit two from downtown to make it 48-52. Ntilikina hit one for the hosts, but Walker knocked down his sixth and Manek made two more for the visitors to make it 54-61. However, Partizan stopped the bleeding with close-range baskets from Carlik Jones and Ntilikina. A triple from Carlik Jones tied it and Bonga's dunk helped the hosts finish a 10-0 run. Francisco's triple, the visitors' seventh of the quarter tied things at 64-64 after 30 minutes.
Washington got the hosts going in the fourth with a floater and a three-point play. Francisco's three snapped a 15-3 run, but Brown nailed a transition triple for a 75-67 advantage midway through the fourth quarter. All the points that followed came from the free throw line in a tense battle, before Carlik Jones hit a mid-range jumper, then Bonga followed with a runner in traffic to make it 81-74 with 1:29 to go and Partizan preserved the lead in the final 90 seconds.
