Partizan is the first ABA League finalist, after defeating Red Star 89:78 in the second match.

The "Black and Whites" are now one step away from defending their title on the Adriatic. In the final, they will play against the better team from the Dubai – Buducnost series, in which the UAE team took a 1-0 lead.

At the same time, Partizan achieved its first away victory over Red Star in the ABA League after 11 years, or 20 matches.

Đoan Peñaroja's team was in control of the match throughout and deservedly won.

After the first 10 minutes, Partizan led 28:16, and the guests had a 16-point lead at halftime (49:33).

Red Star threatened in the third quarter, getting down to minus 11, but Karlik Jones, Sterling Brown and Nick Klates always had a ready answer.

Red Star reduced the deficit to minus ten in the last ten minutes, but Partizan did not allow for the drama like in the first match.

Bruno Fernando was the most efficient player in the winning team with 19 points, Dylan Osetkovski added 17. For Red Star, Jordan Nwora and Joel Bolomboy scored 12 each.
