AS Monaco silenced a fervent home crowd inside Aleksandar Nikolic Hall as Mike James and Elie Okobo came up big down the stretch to give the French side a morale-boosting 74-79 road win at Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in Round 6 of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season.
James and Okobo scored 15 points each while Alpha Diallo paced Monaco with 18 points and 6 boards as the visitors improved to 4-2. Partizan, meanwhile, dropped to 2-4 after a second damaging home loss in as many games, having been edged by Virtus Segafredo Bologna 69-70 last week.
Carlik Jones and Iffe Lundberg led Partizan on 15 points each while Isaac Bonga chipped in with 11 points and 10 boards, but the Serbian giant once again came up short when the chips were down.

Diallo says no! Motorola Magic Moment
Partizan dominated the boards in the first quarter, outrebounding the visitors 11-4, but Monaco took better care of the ball as the visiting team committed no turnovers in the opening 10 minutes, facilitating a 21-23 lead before romping away in the second.
The home team could not do anything right as it kept hitting a wall on offense while Diallo, James and Okobo ripped through the hosts’ defense time and again, allowing Monaco to engineer a 30-46 lead shortly before halftime.
Having trailed 33-46 at the interval, Partizan finally found its range and momentum in the third quarter as Isaac Bonga and Mario Nakic hit a couple of three-pointers and Lundberg followed in their footsteps, with the home team turning the tide to take a 54-53 lead.
However, Monaco replied with a swift 2-8 run to get back into the driving seat ahead of the final 10 minutes, setting the tone for a seesaw fourth-quarter battle. With the lead changing hands several times, Partizan nosed ahead for the last time, 73-72, before clutch shots from Okobo and James forced the final twist.
Both were off balance in a defender’s face, demonstrating the high class Monaco boasts, and it made all the difference in a titanic clash played at a torrid pace from start to finish.
