Lietkabelis Panevezys exposed one of Partizan NIS Belgrade's biggest weaknesses while cruising to a 93-78 home win in Group A of the 7DAYS EuroCup on Tuesday.
Lietkabelis exposed Partizan's weakness



Partizan came into the game making just 33.3% of its three-point attempts, which ranked 16th in the league. In Panevezys, head coach Zeljko Obradovic's men connected on just 7 of 22 tries from long range, or just 31.8%, and could not keep up with Lietkabelis's hot shooting.

The poor shooting kept Partizan to just 78 points – 7.4 points below its average. That total was also just 1.9 points more than what Lietkabelis had been conceding to opponents so far this season, 76.1 points on average, its defense ranking third overall. What's more, the Lithuanian side had specialized in making three-pointers tough on opponents, whose 35.0% rate from deep against the Lithuanian team was the sixth-worst in the league.
Lietkabelis did not just make life difficult for Partizan from the outside. The guests made just 46.5% of their two-pointers, too, which came as a real surprise since Partizan led the EuroCup coming into the game with 58.7% shooting inside the arc.
