The final quarter was played at a lower intensity, but Partizan still managed the game professionally and closed out the result with minimal fuss.

Key moments

Partizan’s first major run came late in the opening period, when a 9-2 spurt broke a 10-10 tie and established the tone. The visitors then opened the second half with a 10-3 burst, forcing Tresnjevka into an early timeout. By the end of the third quarter, the lead had grown to 23 points and the hosts had no realistic route back into the contest.

Tactical story

Partizan’s defensive game plan centered on clogging the paint and forcing Tresnjevka into contested perimeter shots. The visitors rotated well out of their zone looks and used their size to disrupt entry passes. Offensively, Partizan played inside-out, establishing post touches before kicking the ball to open shooters. That balance made them difficult to guard, especially once the lead allowed them to play with freedom.

Standout performers

• Jovana Janković was dominant for Partizan with 20 points and 12 rebounds, controlling the paint at both ends.
• Milica Stojanović added 16 points and 5 assists, repeatedly breaking down Tresnjevka’s defense off the dribble.
• Lana Pavičić led Tresnjevka with 14 points, but she received limited support against Partizan’s aggressive help defense.

What it means

The win strengthens ZKK Partizan Galenika Women’s position in the Adriatic Women’s Basketball League standings and reinforces their credentials as a serious contender. For Tresnjevka 2009 Women, the defeat highlights the gap they must close against the league’s stronger defensive teams.
