KK Partizan drops season opener to Cavaliers by 30
The season started off on a bad note. With expectations sky high coming into this season, Belgrade looked poised to start the season off on a high note. Instead, they allowed a young and talented but inexperienced team to bully them around on the court. Brutally outplayed on both ends, Belgrade watched as the Cavaliers shot a scorching 57% from the field and hit 14-30 three pointers en route to drop 132 points.
Final Result: 132-102 Cavaliers

REAL loses at home in a snoozefest
KK Partizan entered the game seeking to make amends for a poor performance in the season opener. Led by Dumars 20 points, Belgrade unleashed a dominant defensive performance holding Madrid to 33% shooting for the game and allowing just 4 made three pointers on 26 attempts. More importantly, they won the battle on the glass in an impressive fashion outrebounding Madrid by 14.
Final Result: 95-75 KK Partizan

Belgrade defeats short handed Supersonics
With the Seattle team in an turmoil with the suspension of Dario Saric, Damon Stoudemire, Patrick Ewing and Larry Johnson for the first 8 games of the season due to undisclosed team code violations, Belgrade took advantage of the short handed Sonics by holding them to just 82 points with the game well out of reach midway through the 3rd quarter. It also allowed Belgrade to let their young prospects get extended minutes while resting their starters.
Final Result: 112-82 KK Partizan

Last year's Eurasia conference champion wins in a nail biter
The first real test of the season for Belgrade came against last year's conference champion, Newcastle. Led by Anthony Davis' impressive 39 point, 10 rebound and 5 block performance Newcastle entered the 4th quarter with a tie game and squeaked out a victory. However, a combined 61 point effort from Nowitzki and Dumars wasn't enough with Baylor chipping in 28 points to help Davis. A high scoring game with a combined 68 three point attempts (on atrocious percentages) and neither team proving capable of stopping the other.
Final Result: 123-120 Eagles

Belgrade stuns perennial contender Mikawa
In just the second serious matchup of the season, Belgrade entered the fourth quarter down by two and retaliated for the 3 point loss to Newcastle by winning against Mikawa by the same slim margin. Led by an impressive combined effort of 53 points by the stalwart backcourt duo of Dumars and Kidd, and an impressive outside shooting display (11-21 on threes), they managed to break through the close to impenetrable wall that Mikawa puts up on a nightly basis.
Final Result: 109-106 KK Partizan

Istanbul routes Belgrade in dominating fashion
The game was not anywhere near as close as the score says. Istanbul led by 23 points entering the fourth quarter and was carried by LeBron's 35 point, 5 rebound, 5 assist game and Beal's impressive 32 points on eight threes. They also attempted 36 free throws as a team compared to the paltry 5 Belgrade got. Istanbul looks to be a very dangerous team this year having surrounded LeBron - and emerging star Bradley Beal - with a cast of defensive studs.
Final Result: 118-107 Anadolu Efes

Brazil puts up a great fight but falls short
Low on talent but full of heart, Brazil pushed Belgrade to really exert themselves for a victory. Led by a combined 79 points between Dirk Nowitzki, Luke Walton and Joe Dumars they proved to be too much for the inexperienced and youthful Brazilian team in the midst of a rebuild. Luke Walton ended up receiving the Player of the Game award with an impressive 30 point, 11 rebound and 7 assist showing.
Final Result: 114-102 KK Partizan
