W, W, W, W, W, T! Partizan publicly jabs Zvezda after the derby like never before /PHOTO/

It seems those at Humska haven't forgotten the statement made by their eternal rival's coach, Saša Obradović, after the ABA League derby.
"I wasn't told it was an unimportant game. That's how I approached and viewed this match; there's a high chance you'll lose the game, of course, against Partizan, and that's how people judge you. It's very important that we didn't expend too much energy; let this be a strong training session for what awaits us," the red-and-whites' head coach said at the time.
After their EuroLeague victory, Partizan decided to subtly jab at Zvezda like never before.
On the black-and-whites' official Instagram account, a picture was posted showcasing a string of victories, with a clear allusion:
"W, W, W, W, W, T".
Meaning – win, win, win, win, win, training.
For the 'Steamroller,' this marked their sixth consecutive triumph in Europe's elite competition.
I feel good, I'm happy we won such a great match against an excellent team. Zvezda plays phenomenally, they fought until the end, we had control, but McIntyre played brilliantly in the last two minutes. In the end, it's an important victory for us, for our fans. I'm happy about that. Six consecutive EuroLeague wins, not bad. They work hard every day; the situation a few months ago was bad, and this is very important for them. To enjoy this victory. Đoan Penjaroja, Partizan coach
