Barcelona proved to be way too powerful for Partizan Belgrade, defeating the Serbian team 101 – 64 and returning to preseason wins following the Catalan League final loss to Andorra.
Chris Singleton scored a game-high 18 points and stole the ball thrice for 20 PIR while Victor Claver added 14 points Rolands Smits 13, Jaka Blazic 12 and Kyle Kuric 11 for Barcelona. The Blaugrana dominated from start to finish despite the absences of Kevin Pangos and Pierre Oriola who are away with the Canadian and Spanish national teams respectively ahead of September’s World Cup Qualifiers.
Rade Zagorac (13 points) and Marko Pecarski (11 points, five rebounds) stood out for Partizan Belgrade. This was the third preseason loss in Spain for the Serbian team, following the defeats to Iberostar Tenerife, Baskonia and Zaragoza.
