Marko Guduric had a last chance to win the game for EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, but he missed at the buzzer and Partizan Mozzart Bet survived for the 80-78.
Sterling Brown, with 20 points, led the winners, who had a solid 80-73 with 1.40 left in the game.
However, the hosts didn’t score after that.
Josh Nebo, who finished the game with 10 points, Leandro Bolmaro with one of two free throws, after a questionable call, and then Guduric with a two-pointer, got a 5-0 run, while Partizan was missing shot after shot, but still didn’t pay for it in the end.
Carlik Jones had 15 points and five assists, and was one of the standouts for Partizan, despite missing the shot that could have sealed the win with 11 seconds left in the game.
Shavon Shields, with 21 points, was the top scorer of the Italians, who put up a big fight, even if they were trailing for most of the game.
Milan and Partizan are now tied at 1-1 after this result.
