In case you missed it, the hottest team in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague over the last 10 games is Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, which now finds itself in the playoff zone for the first time this season after its first double-round sweep.
Partizan took Zalgiris Kaunas’s best punch and delivered a knockout blow in the fourth quarter for a 74-88 road win. That came on the heels of a 92-71 victory over LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne to give the 1992 EuroLeague champs a 12-11 mark and eight wins in the last 10 games. That also leaves Partizan atop a four-way tie at 12-11 for seventh place in the standings.
"We’re just growing with time. We have the most inexperienced team in EuroLeague and it was going to take time. But now we’re just growing and trying to get better and get to know each other, listen to each other and realize it’s us against everyone," said Zach LeDay, who collected 11 points and 10 rebounds against his former team Zalgiris.
