U jučerašnjem meču finala Kupa Radivoja Koraća viđen je derbi. Zvezda je pobedila 74:64 i vratila titulu. Partizan se odlično pokazao uprkos kratkoj klupi i odsustvu prvog trenera. Međutim, sve to ostaje u dimu takozvanih „navijačkih” incidenata pre, tokom  i nakon utakmice. Pored standardnih međusobnih koškanja, ovaj put je povređen civil.

Crvena zvezda’s record breaking 7-0 series ended with the 8th. They lost to Efes by 72:86, despite the home court advantage. The players of coach Dejan Radonjić were expected to lose momentum at some point, after winning consecutively in both the Euroleague and ABA League. The point was reached tonight.

After a tense match in Tel Aviv, Maccabi lost to Zvezda by 67:71. The team from Belgrade showed off their possibilities even on one of the most demanding foreign grounds. The low point numbers in the first half is an example of a tough backing on both sides. Nevertheless, Maccabi’s mistakes ended up being overwhelming. Tonight’s top scorer Stefan Jović shot 14 points for a PIR of 15. MOTM, Ognjen Kuzmić had a PIR of 17.

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. 🙂

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
