Partizan made a flying start and the hosts kept their feet on the gas from start to finish, with Davies scoring 8 for Partizan early on as the hosts raced into a 17-5 lead. Carlik Jones pulled the strings on offense with a barrage of assists and Brown also got going, propelling Partizan into a 27-12 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The second produced a similar pattern as Partizan stayed firmly in the driver’s seat and although Maccabi slashed the deficit to 37-26 at one point, Partizan found another gear shortly before the break to take a 48-32 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Maccabi’s only bright patch of the game came midway through the third period, with Partizan briefly struggling on offense which allowed the visitors to close the gap to 54.46. However, a perfect storm followed as Partizan hit back with a 16-1 run having scored the opening 15 points in the third quarter from downtown.
Free-flowing offense from Partizan was complemented by a huge defensive effort as the home team closed shop and finished on 15 steals and a staggering 8 blocks, while Brown and Tyrique Jones amplified the festive mood among the fans with an array of spectacular slam dunks.
Partizan soon romped away to an 80-51 lead early in the fourth quarter, its biggest of the night, having stayed in top gear as the home team’s head coach Zeljko Obradovic made sure his men kept the tempo high.
Obradovic said he welcomed the challenging fixture list for the rest of the regular season, with Partizan facing nine road games in the remaining 15 rounds in Europe’s premier club competition.
“Great, it gives us the opportunity to show that we have it in us to square off with any team on any court on the big stage,” Obradovic told the post-game news conference. “The most important thing is to stay fit and healthy. We did a great job tonight, especially on defense, having stifled out Maccabi and that generated smooth offense at the other end.”
