Even without Frank Kaminsky and the long-term injured Aleksa Avramovic on the roster, Partizan Belgrade secured its fourth consecutive victory on the road with a 93-85 win against Zalgiris Kaunas.
Kevin Punter played a crucial role in the triumph, showcasing his outstanding offensive skills. Despite facing aggressive defense, Punter scored 22 points, making 4 out of 6 three-pointers in the Zalgirio Arena.
Zeljko Obradovic commended his team’s “killer mentality” and expressed pride in their performance, highlighting their resilience during a challenging moment in the third quarter.
“They really played very aggressive defense at a certain moment in the third quarter, but we reacted well. I’m very proud of how we played today,” Obradovic said.
Despite Keenan Evans' outstanding 33-point night, Partizan Belgrade extended its EuroLeague winning streak to four games mainly thanks to Kevin Punter and PJ Dozier 🇷🇸https://t.co/6PGFkUXmZB
