Daum races clear and dunks! Motorola Magic Moment
Roared on by its fervent 19,000 fans in a jam-packed Belgrade Arena, Zvezda made a fast-paced start and raced into a 5-0 lead, but Partizan responded with a 2-10 run to turn the tables and nose ahead 7-10, with the visiting team’s 1,000 or so supporters also in full swing. Gritty and aggressive defense at both ends of the court made open looks hard to come by, as Partizan opened its account from downtown shooting 3 of 9 while Zvezda made 3 of 7 from two-point territory in the opening 5:40 minutes.
Offensive boards by both sides facilitated some hard-earned points in the paint before Petrusev sank one from deep to tie the score, 14-14. Partizan’s Isaac Bonga returned the favor to put the visitors back in front. However, some ice-cool shooting restored Zvezda’s lead, 18-17, in the final minute of the first quarter before Carlik Jones struck from mid-range at the other end. Just when it seemed Partizan would hold to its slender lead at the end of the opening period, Rokas Giedraitis buried a buzzer-beating three to send the home faithful into raptures and give Zvezda a 21-19 advantage.
The home team extended its lead to 25-21 early in the second after a huge Mike Daum dunk that had Zvezda fans roaring with delight while Tyrique Jones followed in his footsteps at the other end. Iffe Lundberg tied the score, 25-25 after yet another offensive rebound from Partizan but Zvezda was unfazed and the evergreen Milos Teodosic replied with a 4-point play, sinking a triple and the free throw as he drew a foul from a defender. Teodosic produced more magic in Zvezda’s next possession, floating in an audacious lay-up after Tyrique Jones had rocked the rim with a big dunk at the other end.
However, Partizan soon conjured a 1-10 run as Carlik Jones turned on the heat and Lundberg capped a fastbreak with a two-handed slam to give the visiting team a 32-37 edge and force Zvezda head coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos to call a timeout. Tyrique Jones followed up with a huge dunk to stretch Partizan’s run to 1-12 and its lead to 32-39 before Petrusev stopped Zvezda’s rot, with the rivals trading baskets in a pulsating finish to the first half. Frank Ntilikina sank a deep three to put Partizan 37-45 ahead before Giedraitis sank a pair of free throws to reduce Zvezda’s halftime deficit to 39-45.
Partizan opened the third quarter in style as Mike dunked with aplomb and Bonga nailed a baseline triple to give the visitors their first double-digit lead of the night, 39-50. Lundberg followed up with a long two and moments later Mike buried a deep three, giving Partizan a 41-55 advantage. Zvezda struggled on offense as the hosts failed to cope with Partizan’s aggressive half-court pressure, but Nikola Kalinic then rekindled their hopes of a comeback with a wide-open three-pointer.
The raucous atmosphere in the gym reached fever pitch as Daum slashed Partizan’s lead to 46-55 but Carlik Jones replied with a pair of free throws and Mike then sank a delicious hook shot to keep the visiting team firmly in the driving seat, 46-59. Zvezda fought hard to stay in the game and the home fans were again galvanized when Isaiah Canaan made a three-point play and Petrusev followed suit as the hosts closed the gap to 55-63 at the end of the third quarter, setting the scene for a fascinating climax.
Tyrique Jones, who limped off in the third quarter, nicked a pair of steals – one of which he cashed in for a dunk – to open the fourth quarter. The big man scored again and hauled in a contested defensive rebound, which resulted in a Zvezda timeout at 57-69. Sterling Brown dealt Zvezda another blow with a three-pointer.
Petrusev and Nedovic kept the hosts in the game, but Partizan continued pounding away with a magical three-point play by Carlik Jones and 2 more free throws by Tyrique Jones. Zvezda was already playing against an extra opponent – the clock – as Mike made it 66-82 with 3 minutes to go. Zvezda never threw in the towel, the outcome was already clear and Partizan ran out the clock.
