It was another close game for Coach Obradovic's charges and this one might have been the most impressive.
Cardiac Partizan rode 'incredible fight' in comeback win

Things did not look very bright for Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade as the minutes were ticking away in the fourth quarter on Thursday night. In a jam-packed Stark Arena, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens scored the first 8 points of the fourth quarter to open a 10-point lead, and the Greens led 63-73 as the game entered the final 4 minutes of regulation.
Until then, Partizan fans' favorite Mathias Lessort, now in a Panathinaikos jersey, had a dunking show, Kendrick Nunn was hot and Dinos Mitoglou was doing his usual part.

Partizan, which entered the game averaging 87.0 points, was at only 63 points at that point. However, the hosts scored 15 more before the end of regulation and 14 more in the extra session to pull out this win.
"10 points down, we found energy thanks to our fans and thanks to players who really fought until last moment", Coach Zeljko Obradovic said, adding. "Players showed an incredible, incredible fight."
It was an intense game, where every play counted all the way. And down the stretch, behind that 'incredible fight' it was Partizan players who made all the plays.
First, late in the fourth quarter, PJ Dozier hit a tough three-pointer, before Punter strung together a layup and a triple to cut it to 76-78 with 1:20 left. Punter's runner tied it in the final minute, then had the ball to win it in regulation, but was stripped and the hosts ended up lucky the game went into overtime as Grigonis made a would-be game-winning triple after the time expired.
In the extra session, Bruno Caboclo had a put-back dunk and delivered 2 blocks as Partizan players performed on the defensive end as their lived depended on it. Offensively, Dozier and Punter fueled an 8-0 run that made it 88-80, and when Panathinaikos made its own run, a Punter-to-Zach LeDay alley-oop sealed the deal, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
It was a cardiac ending, but that crowd and everybody watching Partizan this season already should have gotten used to those.
This is Partizan's second overtime game, after losing 98-94 in Piraeus against Olympiacos back in Round 4. The following week, Partizan rallied from a 13-point fourth quarter deficit to beat Zvezda 88-86, followed by squandering a fourth-quarter lead to lose on the road against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz 84-83. In Round 7, Partizan rallied on home floor to edge Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul 85-84.
That makes five of its last eight games being decided either in overtime, or by 2 or fewer points in regulation.
This one, however, might have been the most impressive of them all.
