Regular Season Round 17: Partizan - Cluj Napoca 90-79

Date: January 31, 2026
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams in Beograd where leader Romanian Cluj Napoca (9-6) was defeated by second ranked Serbian Partizan (14-1) 90-79 on Saturday. Partizan made 19-of-23 free shots (82.6 percent) during the game. They also forced 21 Cluj Napoca turnovers. Partizan looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. The best player for the winners was American-German center Dylan Osetkowski (206-1996, college: Texas) who scored 20 points. American Sterling Brown (197-1995, college: SMU) chipped in 15 points. Five Partizan players scored in double figures. American point guard Daron Russell (180-1998, college: Maryland) produced 19 points and 6 assists and Serbian center Dusan Miletic (213-1998) added 8 points and 7 rebounds respectively for the guests. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Partizan have an impressive series of ten victories in a row. Defending Serbian champion maintains second place with 14-1 record having just eight point less than leader Spartak. Cluj Napoca lost third consecutive game. Defending Romanian champion still keeps top position with six games lost. Partizan will meet at home league's leader Dubai in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Cluj Napoca will play against the league's leader Borac and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
