 Winning both cup competitions that season — the FIBA Korać Cup and the Yugoslav Cup — came as a great confidence boost for the young squad.The two trophies came in quick succession during mid March 1989 — on Thursday, 16 March, Partizan went to Cantù for the first leg of the Korać Cup final away versus Wiwa Vismara losing by 13 points with Danilović getting a starting assignment and recording 10 points, followed by travelling straight to Maribor to play Jugoplastika in the Yugoslav Cup final on Sunday, 19 March, and winning 87-74, before returning home for the return leg of the Korać Cup final on home court in Hala sportova on Wednesday, 22 March, and winning by 19 to overturn their first leg deficit and take the trophy.Danilović, this time coming off the bench, again contributed with 10 points in the return leg, getting his name on the second major trophy within three days.
