Paris Basketball faced another setback in the Euroleague, losing 92-79 to Partizan Belgrade in their first home game in the competition. This marked the second consecutive loss for the French club, following an earlier defeat to Panathinaikós in the opening round. The match started strongly for Paris, who took an early 10-0 lead, with T.J. Warren, Mouhamed Faye, and their teammates showing great form. However, as the second unit of Paris entered the game, a dip in performance became noticeable. Kyle Allman Jr., who was playing on one foot, helped Partizan close the gap to three points (18-15) by the end of the first quarter. Carlik Jones, who had been named MVP of the first day of the Euroleague, played a crucial role for Partizan, scoring 20 points in the first half. Despite this, Paris maintained the lead for much of the second quarter, with Jared Rhoden contributing significantly, including a three-pointer at the 13th minute. However, Paris gradually lost control of the match. Lamar Stevens helped reduce the score during a strong period for Partizan (28-24, 14th minute), which the Serbian team largely maintained until the end of the match, as evidenced by a long-range shot by Nikola Tanasković at the final second of the first period (40-44). Tonye Jekiri, serving as a backup to Kevarius Hayes at the center position, brought energy back after halftime, scoring 15 points and grabbing 7 rebounds by the end of the game. His performance was notable in the third quarter, where he scored 9 points. Paris remained competitive, with captain Herrera bringing the team close on two occasions (57-59, 27th minute, and 63-67, 30th minute). However, the gap remained unchanged as the final quarter began. Despite a strong run by T.J. Warren in the fourth quarter (65-73, 32nd minute), his partnership with Nadir Hifi (19 points) was not enough to overcome the deficit. Luca Vildoza (16 points), who excelled in stealing balls and scoring in fast breaks, took control for Partizan. His made basket with a foul (73-87) three minutes from the end effectively ended any hopes of a Paris comeback. Paris will need to recover quickly from this defeat, as they are set to face Zalgiris Kaunas soon.
