Carlik Jones reflects on Partizan's struggles: We need to put out the fire - Basketball Sphere

Carlik Jones has been the driving force for Partizan this season, but he has recently struggled from the free-throw line.

Jones was shooting around 90% from the charity stripe until the game against Barcelona, after which his percentage dropped to just 20% (as of the matchup with Anadolu Efes).

“I’m very upset and frustrated. I always start by looking at myself. We had a tough night, we didn’t play well, I didn’t play well, but as a team, we weren’t good. We need to put out the fire—there aren’t many games left, and we have to turn the page and understand what went wrong,” said the American guard.

Following their loss to the Turkish team, Partizan has fallen to 12th place in the standings with a 15-15 record.

For the remainder of the season, the black-and-whites will face Alba Berlin, Zalgiris, Bayern, and Real Madrid.
