ASVEL recovered from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Partizan 82–75 at LDLC Arena on Wednesday, October 28. Partizan led 69–58 with six minutes remaining before ASVEL turned the game around.

ASVEL is based in Villeurbanne, near Lyon in France; Partizan comes from Belgrade, Serbia. The game belonged to round eight of the 2026–27 EuroLeague season.

How ASVEL recovered

TalkBasket said Jae Crowder made two difficult shots in quick succession during the decisive stretch. Patty Mills and Hugo Besson also made timely three-pointers as ASVEL closed the gap and took the lead.

Partizan coach Joan Peñarroya said his team stopped playing its usual game in the final four or five minutes. The players failed to move and share the ball, chose poor shots and did not get to the free-throw line. He credited ASVEL with continuing to fight for the win and said Partizan had missed a good chance to win away from home.

Both teams are scheduled to play again on Friday, October 30: ASVEL hosts Baskonia, while Partizan travels to Zalgiris Kaunas.
