Tonye Jekiri made every touch count against Baskonia. The Partizan centre finished with 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and a clean sheet of zero turnovers in just 21 minutes, shooting 8-for-10 from the floor to anchor a 80–66 home win that never truly wavered. Jekiri's efficiency—he managed one steal and one block while picking up only two fouls—reflected a Partizan side that controlled the game from the opening tip. Baskonia found no rhythm against a disciplined Belgrade defence, and when the hosts needed a scorer in the paint, Jekiri was there. His 1-for-3 outing at the line was the only rough patch in an otherwise dominant individual performance. A 14-point margin masks nothing: this was Partizan's game to lose, and Jekiri's near-flawless interior work made sure they didn't.
