Crvena zvezda mts still own a perfect record this season after 3 games played, since they have beaten Zadar on the road in Krešimir Ćosić Arena. Dejan Radonjić's squad did the majority of their job in the first half.
ABA League, Round 3, Thursday, 6.10.2016:
Zadar – CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS 66:103 (23:23, 12:26, 11:24, 20:30)
Story of the game: Crvena zvezda Telekom are on a 3:0 record after 3 rounds played in the ABA League, after beating Zadar on the road in Višnjik, quite convincingly. The red and white of Belgrade led by 14 points already at half time thanks to their strong start and only controlled their high lead and the flow of the game in the second part.
Key moments: Crvena zvezda mts pulled away from the home side in the third quarter when they have created themselves a 14-point lead, with which they headed to half time break. However, the truly decisive was the period of opening 6 minutes of the second half, when Zvezda made an 11:0 run and decided the game in their favour.
Man of the match: Big man Ognjen Kuzmić was the driving force of Zvezda this time, as he led his team towards the victory with a double double (12 points, 10 rebounds). He also stole two balls and made an assist. Kuzmić ended the game with a valuation of 20 points, while creating a 26-point difference in favour of his team together with teammates in only 22 minutes spent on court.
Can't trick the stats: Given that Kuzmić and company inside the paint of Crvena zvezda mts were dominant during the game, it is no surprise that the inside game of the red and white is the one that was decisive. They outrebounded the opponent 37:26.
