As they are one of my favorite things to write, there will be columns, and comments on the transfer window. But, considering they do take a while and that free time is limited, for now we’ll stick to match reports and quick news on Instagram.

Coming up, later in the evening: the full match report on Maccabi – Zvezda, and the CSKA – Bamberg highlights. Stay tuned. 🙂

The reigning Euroleague champion have beat Emporio Armani by a fantastic 101:64. In a match that left no doubt about the winner the players of CSKA Moscow were able to stop almost every initiative from the guests.

Lead by Nando de Colo (22p, 30 PIR), Andrey Vorontsevich (18, 20) and Miloš Teodosić (10, 16), the Armeytsi are undoubtedly getting their self-esteem back into winning gears.

Pao je i Fener! U prepunom Pioniru, crveno-beli su savladali favorizovani Fenerbahče sa 75:73. Ovaj izuzetno kompleksan meč finiširao je Dženkins. Na sveopšte oduševljenje domaćih navijača, Zvezda nastavlja svoj pobedonosni niz.

In a truly tense match, in front of the packed Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Zvezda has beat Fener by 75:73. Despite leading in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, the red and whites have forgone their advantage to Fener. Nevertheless, the strong defense lead by Lazić and attacks from all angles, were the key to tonight’s victory, which was sealed by Ognjen Kuzmić’s incredible block only 2 seconds before the final buzzer.

It’s all about the defense

Odbrana, odbrana i samo odbrana! Zvezda se iz Litvanije vraća sa pobedom nad Žalgirisom (61:77). Prednost od +27 i organizovana igra, rešili su pitanje pobednika već u prvom poluvremenu.

A strong defense marked the fourth consecutive Euroleague win for Crvena Zvezda. This time, their away match against Zalgiris Kaunas ended with an expected victory (61:77), after an excellent first half that decided the winner. Tonight’s MOTMs are undoubtedly Branko Lazić and Marko Simonović. 

Red Star’s best yet

U svom najboljem izdanju dosadašnje sezone, Zvezda je na domaćem terenu savladala izraelski Makabi rezultatom 83:58. Prednost je prelazila +30, u trećoj četvrtini za pamćenje.

In a match seen as the perfect example of how to play, Red Star defeated Maccabi by 83:58. The advantage, which rose up to 31pts in the 3rd quarter, was undeniable and thanks to an amazingly energetic offense and a strong defense, the winner was obvious after the first twenty minutes.  Hopes are high for the next match in Belgrade, against Real Madrid.

Zalgiris for the win in Belgrade

Crveno-beli nisu opravdali ulogu favorita, te su na domaćem terenu pali rezultatom 79:88. Nije pomogla ni “talija” Pionira, kao ni pritisak neophodnosti večerašnje pobede. Utakmicu su obeležile promocije dobrotvornih akcija, te najmanje jedan golub.

Red Star has managed to beat itself once again, by allowing a fall in the final quarter, for a score of 79:88 to Zalgiris Kaunas. Despite the home court advantage of fan favorite Pionir Hall., the Red and Whites weren’t able to handle the pressure and have ended up listless. 

Olympiacos BC has beat its greatest rival. The long awaited Panathinaikos – Olympiacos derby ended in favor of the red and whites (77:79) at the green’s home court of Oaka.

Baskonia continues to do well in the Euroleague. After their incredible win over Real, another away game victory in Belgrade, against Red Star.  A total of 63:70 in a match that could have ended very differently.

Srpski igrači dominiraju Evroligom

As every week, Euroleague listed up this round’s top 10 moves. It’s not surprising that most of the list was dominated by Serbian players, including the first place that belongs to Miloš Teodosić .
