Partizan pulled off a stunning comeback victory in Munich. The Black-and-Whites found themselves trailing by 13 late in the third quarter before sealing a dramatic late win.

The contest went down to the wire as Duane Washington missed a potential game-winning three-pointer for the home side, allowing the Serbian club to escape Munich with two vital points.

Partizan head coach Joan Peñarroya shared his immediate reactions after the final buzzer.

"We are happy to get the win in an atmosphere like this; it was a true 50-50 game. We changed things up in the fourth quarter, particularly in off-ball situations. We missed a lot of open looks, but the team kept the faith and continued to play together—this is a very important victory for us. We played with confidence and fought for the full 40 minutes. When you have this level of support the entire game, it carries you. We made some defensive adjustments, and in the end, my players' offensive talent decided the outcome." — Joan Peñarroya
