Kosner Baksonia lost 91-79 to the Partizan on the last day of the Euroleague.

Paolo Galbiati's team has surrendered in Belgrade in the match between the two teams in the lower part of the classification. However, the Serb team led by Joan Peñarroya is at a good time and has proved it.

The Vitorians have gone from bat a in both defense and attack, with no good percentage of three and missing such important men as game creator Trent Forrest.

After eight consecutive wins, Baskonia has surrendered in Belgrade, but the key moment will come now, when it will fight to qualify for the playoffs of the Endesa League as the current King's Cup champion.

The problem of the triples has been the visitors since the first quarter, with three baskets out of 11 attempts. However, at the beginning of the game, Kosner has endured the Partizan (26-20). Mamadi Diakite on the start of the meeting of the Baskonia, but the Partizan has offered a better team version thanks to the good rhythm of Nick Calathes.

Taken off the bench, Tonye Jekiri's contribution has also contributed to Serbian dominance (35-27). The triples have reduced the income of the locals in the break, but it was not enough for the Galbiati to stay in the match. So the Baskonia, with the exception of Eugene Omoruyi's contribution , has not been able to prevail in defense and has not had patience to create the game with the line of three.

On the way to the last quarter, the Partizan has put the biggest difference in the score (61-50), dominating the rebound. Unable to get it right, the Baskonia has yielded, as the rapid accumulation of faults and ball losseshave punished . Within four minutes of the end, the locals, with Carlik Jones, have again gained eleven points of advantage, and the Alaveses have deservedly lost their last European march.
