Partizan snatch dramatic win at Munich
Partizan Belgrade snatched a dramatic 86-84 road victory against Bayern Munich at the Sap Garden, completing a significant comeback. Munich held a slim one-point lead at halftime (47-46) and extended it to eight points entering the final period (65-57). However, the game swung decisively in the fourth quarter, which Partizan dominated 29-19, fuelled by their impressive 25 assists and 13 steals. Despite a strong contribution of 41 points from their bench, including 20 from Duane Washington, Bayern couldn't hold on. Partizan's resilience, highlighted by Tonye Jekiri's 17 points and 5 rebounds off the bench and Alessandro Pajola's game-high 7 assists, proved decisive. Crucially, Partizan committed only 8 turnovers compared to Munich's 17, a stark contrast that underscored the momentum shift. This win marks a vital early-season success for Partizan, while Munich will rue letting a commanding lead slip away at home.
