After three consecutive losses, Olimpia Milano broke the streak and achieved a home victory. Milano was in the lead for most of the game, and with three consecutive three-pointers at the end of the third quarter, they reached a double-digit lead (69-57).
However, the visitors managed to come back. With a run at the start of the fourth quarter, Partizan closed the gap to three points (71-68), but the Italians pulled away again and ultimately claimed a relatively easy victory in the elite competition.
Olimpia Milano now has a record of 12-13 and will host Baskonia in the next round. On the other hand, Partizan remains with eight wins and now 17 losses, and in five days, they will visit Maccabi in Tel Aviv.
