"Partizan won before the game, but we'll see after," one of Real Madrid's fans mumbled while watching Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade fans taking over WiZink Center premises with loud chants before the tip-off.

And at one point, it seemed that Real will have the last laugh. Partizan committed their 4th team foul inside the first three minutes of the 4th quarter, while unstoppable Gabriel Deck scored his 19th point of the night, giving the hosts a 7-point lead with more than 5 minutes left.

Walter Tavares was already sidelined with a knee injury, and from Partizan's point of view, the doubt about a missed opportunity began to creep in.

But then, Kevin Punter happened. After being contained by Nigel Williams-Goss for most of the second half, the Partizan captain went nuclear, making a 4-point play against no other but Williams-Goss.

Yet, somehow it wasn't the best play of the night.

Punter made a switch against Guerschon Yabusele, a couple of dribbles, and let it fly for the win, bringing Partizan the first-ever victory in WiZink Center.

"Kevin Punter," Mathias Lessort described what happened.

"We didn't know what they were gonna do," Zach LeDay told BasketNews after the game. "I think KP made that shot thousands of times. It was not a surprise for me. I'm just grateful he did it on a big stage."

Meanwhile, Punter knew exactly what he wanted to do on the last possession.
