Antonio Reeves made an immediate impact for Partizan, hitting the decisive jumper with 26 seconds remaining to secure an 82–80 road victory over Spartak Subotica. Joan Penarroya’s team improved to 4–0 less than 48 hours after winning the Belgrade derby.
With Carlik Jones rested, Reeves went straight into the starting lineup after arriving in Belgrade on Thursday. Ethan Thompson scored 21 of his 23 points before halftime, but Spartak rallied behind Nikolic and Drobnjak to take a 72–61 lead in the fourth quarter. Alessandro Pajola sparked Partizan’s response before Reeves helped erase the deficit and delivered the winning basket.
Reeves finished with 11 points and three assists, while Kevarrius Hayes also scored 11, all after halftime. Pajola contributed three points, five assists and two steals, with his late influence extending beyond the numbers. Nikolic led Spartak with 19 points, while Drobnjak added 12 and seven assists.
Crvena Zvezda hold off Igokea
Crvena zvezda escaped Laktaši with an 81–80 victory over Igokea, surviving another demanding comeback just two days after their derby defeat to Partizan. Ibon Navarro’s side struggled early and needed a second-half response after the hosts built a halftime advantage.
Chima Moneke produced a crucial late sequence, blocking a shot before scoring in transition to open the door to victory. Igokea still had a final possession to win it, but David Kramer blocked Delalic’s attempt to seal the result.
Tyson Carter led Zvezda with 18 points, providing important baskets down the stretch. Jared Butler added 15, the returning Ognjen Dobric scored 12 and Moneke finished with 10. Lazar Stefanovic paced Igokea with 18 points.
Dubai extend winning streak in Sarajevo
Dubai continued their winning run with a 93–83 road victory over Bosna in Sarajevo, maintaining a perfect 4–0 ABA League record. It was their sixth consecutive win across all competitions since losing to Crvena zvezda in the EuroLeague.
Mfiondu Kabengele needed just 20 minutes to register 17 points and 10 rebounds, following his 24-point, seven-rebound performance against Bayern in Munich. Kosta Kondic also scored 17, while Filip Petrusev contributed 13 points and eight rebounds.
Elie Okobo added 12 points and eight assists as Xavi Pascual again spread the minutes. Reggie Perry challenged Dubai’s frontcourt with 20 points and nine rebounds, while Deandre Gholston scored 18, but Bosna could not halt the visitors’ streak.
