Not even our conscientious warm-up could help.

Right in the beginning Mitrović pushed Mačvan hard to the ground at our first attack, the referee whistled only a throw-in. Yet when Pavlović just touched Lazić and Zvezda’s player immediately acted as the Dying Mother Queen, the referee was watching with open mouth, then as an applause he fouled Pavlović. In the meantime Dangubić bit himself onto Tepić, like a tick. Not even a surgery could have cut him off from our point guard.
Partizan’s unbelievably patient and calm guard constantly had such a tick during the entire game. Either Dangubić, or Blažič or some other irreprovable red-and-white knight. (Feel the irony...) As the match was going on, Tepić’s facial expression got more and more tired.
Meanwhile we kept on scoring, it was a nip-and-tuck game at this point. Then at 7:9 Pavlović got his 2nd (!) foul. A Zvezda-player hit Milosavljević on the face, the referees didn’t whistle, but they did whistle a technical foul on Duško Vujošević after the trainer made it clear what he thinks about the referees’ mental state.

And only 5 minutes have passed...
At 13:12 Milutinov inactivated Blažič with a giant block,

then the Captain ran up and took back the lead (13:14). Tepić scored, too. It was surely not easy with those ticks on his neck, but Tepa made it, because he is a hero (13:16). At this point trainer Radonjić was sweating heavily
no wonder, with that awful red tie
so he asked for time-out and gathered his team on the bench. As a result, Milosavljević scored a 3-pointer (15:19). We finished the first quarter with 17:19.
In the second quarter Zvezda-players cranked up themselves and switched to moron mode. They attacked Partizan-players with the most possible aggressive and sly way. Even Lazić’s third foul at the very beginning of the quarter couldn’t stop it. We still kept our advantage (20:22), Dallo was running like flash among big and slow Zvezda-players. Mačvan scored even when 4 opponents were hanging on him (22:24), then when Dangubić ran up and with a great elan he wanted to score with the dunk of his life to gain back the lead for his team (at 25:26), the ball just rebounded off the ring.
Then doping probably started to take effect for Zirbes (29:26). Mačvan took the team on his back
it was a great achievement, because at least half of the opponent team was hanging on him as well
and reduced the difference to 33:31. At 35:31 he scored again, now a brutal 3-pointer, from at least 8 metres (35:34). That was the half-time result as well.

The third quarter was rather about wrestling, fighting and hitting each other. There was barely any scores. The partial result of the third quarter was 19:10 and that says all, as well as Pavlović getting a technical foul from the referees.
No, nobody got any technical foul from Zvezda during the entire game.
Is anybody surprised?...
The result after the 3rd quarter was 54:44. Mačvan still put superhuman energies into motion. Tepić also scored, though his blood was constantly sucked by a red-white vampire.

Then came the last part.
At 57:48 the two teams started a fight under Partizan’s backboard. As a result, Mačvan got a technical foul, Zvezda got a free throw on golden plate (59:48). Milosavljević reduced the difference (59:53), then referees just had to whistle another free throw for Zvezda (60:53). Then, in the middle of an attack Milutinov suddenly fell on the court and stayed there with a painful face, holding his right leg. It was so painful for him, that he had to leave the court. He could do it only with the help of his teammates.

Upon post-match news there will be reliable information about Milutinov’s injury only tomorrow as well as how long it will take for him to recover. Thanks, Zvezda. You killed Murić, now you liquidated Milutinov as well. May you all get a brutal cold in the middle of the summer.
At 65:55 Mačvan fell to the floor. Just like Milutinov, he also had a painful face and couldn’t continue the game. All I could see from ArenaSport’s slow motion replay was that he fell, then painfully grabs his thigh. He left the court on his own legs, without support.

Upon post-match informations Mačvan is doing better since then.
In the meantime Zirbes knocked the ball out of Milosavljević’s hand in an absolutely not sportsmanlike way. The referee didn’t even notice it - or just pretended he didn’t notice it. The difference was more than 10 points (67:55), Lazić played the "slimy idiot" card, the referee was just watching it with a poker face. Partizan-players complained, but needless to say, the referee didn’t change his mind.
And then came that point when the referees found Marinković for some reason. Whatever the young Partizan-player did, resulted a foul.
The truth is that it was all made and organized by Williams. He continuously mocked Marinković provoking him until Partizan’s player made a firm defensive movement. The referee was already watching it, and when Marinković just took a breath, he whistled immediately. Foul for him, free throw for Zvezda. The referee did it 4 times in a row, within a minute.
Don’t ever try to tell me it was just a co-incidence.
Referees increased Zvezda’s advantage to 76:62. The last minutes were solely about Zvezda’s free throws. Then it ended. 78:64. The second match comes on Monday, from 21:00.
Highlights (with Tepić at the end):
