Thanks to a clutch Nigel Williams-Goss triple, Real Madrid avoided the sweep in the hostile Stark Arena atmosphere and reduced their series deficit to 1-2.

Real and Partizan were playing without some of their key players due to given suspensions for a Game 2 brawl. Guerschon Yabusele was sanctioned with the biggest penalty -- a 5-game suspension. Kevin Punter was handed a 2-game suspension, while Mathias Lessort and Gabriel Deck received punishment for one game.

The other two teams, who stepped on the EuroLeague court on Tuesday night were AS Monaco and Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. The Roca Team edged out the hosts in a thriller and became the third EuroLeague team this season to beat Maccabi at Menora Mivtachim Arena.
