BC Partizan team grabbed a new victory in this season beating Olimpija in Ljubljana in a very interesting encounter in the NLB league round 23 by the final score 73:81 (17:21, 24:16, 14:23, 18:21).
Both teams started with intensive defences which resulted in just 2 points after 2 minutes of the match. Moments later both teams started scoring and the score was 7:7. The black and white guys could not score from the outside, however, many offensive rebounds gave our guys second or even third chance. Then, Vesely started his game with a slam dunk on Rasic's assist and a triple on the next possession for the highest lead of his team in that moment 11:17. The Dragons scored a triple and the first quarter score was 17:19.
Kecmana and Vesely opened the second quarter with a fabulous move while the hosts kept pouring from the triple 23:23. Vujošević called a time-out which brought some results as magnificent Vesely kept the champs in the game 27:27. Olimpija scored two three pointers but Rašić and Kecman did the same on the other side and the score was 33:37. Then the thriller, Marić got a flagrant foul and BC Partizan coaching staff got a technical for appeal but Olimpija hit only two out of five free throws missing a chance to snatch a lead. However, they got another chance from the throws which brought them a slight lead after the first 20 minutes, 41:37.
Partizan started the second half over Marić who scored his first field goal and his first free throw. Then, McCalebb cut through with a lay up and unmistakable Vesley hit another three pointer for a new lead of the black and whites 43:45. Then, a series of free throws helped the hosts regain the lead and Vujošević gained another technical on his account and got excluded. The free-throw game for Olimpija continued but Vesely set his mind on demolition of the rival and scored one more triple and a couple of slam dunks with additional throws for 52:60. Nevertheless, The Dragons finished the quarter with a buzzer triple.
The beginning of the final quarter was marked by attractive plays from Roberts and McCalebb spiced by Vesely's amazing move for 57:66. Mini run by BC Partizan was interrupted by Ožbolt's triple 62:68. Then, another technical foul, for BC Partizan bench who could not stand poor decisions of the referees and strongly protested. Then, skipper Božić hit a triple with a second left on clock and Vesely scored one more triple and the match was practically over, 66:74. Kecman confirmed the victory with one more downtown shot and the black and whites went home with the entire prey from the capital of Slovenia, 73:81.
BC Partizan fans, who were magnificent during the match, saluted their favourites in a fantastic way out of the arena in Ljubljana.
First Assistant Coach of BC Partizan Vlada Jovanović led the team in the second half of the game in Ljubljana:
" I would not comment on the refs, as there is someone more competitive to do that after a thorough analysis of the refereeing of this game. We could not help scoring from the inside in the first half as they positioned narrowly, that's something they could see earlier, especially in the matches Partizan played against Panathinaikos. We had open shots but could not score. In the second half, I repeat, I would not comment on the referring and all the side-effects, we started trailing a step behind. We controlled offensive rebounds in the first half while we had a lot of trouble in that segment in the third quarter, especially for the fact that they played with two centres and much wider than in the first half. We had to use Vraneš due to Marić's fouls problem. Then they put two power forwards and got a lot of space for open three point shots, but failed to make use of it. Occasionally they had a lot of offensive rebound and we had a lot of troubles rebounding. However, we overcame those problems over Marić and firstly over Vesely. He punished all their defensive mistakes with fantastic three point shot. We had a much better shooting day than in the previous matches and our three point percentage was the key to the success in this match. “, said Jovanović.
