Partizan Belgrade took 2-0 lead in EuroLeague Playoff series against Real Madrid (90-85). The game ended prematurely after a massive brawl broke out on the court, leaving both teams with no available players to continue. The fight started when Sergio Llull and Kevin Punter confronted each other mid-court, followed by Guerschon Yabusele colliding with Dante Exum and potentially injuring the Partizan player.
During the game, Partizan was in control and led by as many as 19 points, with Exum contributing 19 points, LeDay with 15 points, and Punter with 14 points. Other players, including Nunnally and Lessort, also played well, scoring 16 and 10 points, respectively. Partizan’s 12 three-pointers also aided their victory.
Partizan’s win marked the second time a road team won the first two games in a playoff series. The first time occurred when Fenerbahce swept Panathinaikos Athens in 2017 under current Partizan coach Zeljko Obradovic’s leadership.
