Game recap: Mega Leks were so close to become the first ABA League team in this season to beat Crvena zvezda mts... However the hosts stayed without breath at the end and failed to pull off a major upset. In the match, which was eventually decided in the overtime, Crvena zvezda mts once again used their strongest weapon to grab the win - Defense. In the crucial moments the red & white crew closed all ways toward their basket and managed to keep the perfect score in ABA League. The reigning champions now have 17 wins out of 17 rounds.
Key moments: Just take a look at the result of the overtime - 14:2 for Crvena zvezda mts! The visitors conceded only 2 points in the most important period of the match. That is impressive.
Man of the match: Stefan Jović and Ognjen Kuzmić had a great cooperation today. Jović finished the match with 10 points & 11 assists, while most of that assists went to Kuzmić who had 16 points & 9 rebounds. Two of them can share the award for the MVP of the match this time.
It is also worth mentioning that Deon Thomson made a debut for Crvena zvezda mts and he made quite a good performance - 10 points & r rebounds for just 7 minutes.
Can' trick the stats: Zvezda were better than Mega in rebounds, assists, steals... But at the end the most important thing was that defense in the overtime. You cannot win the game in overtime by scoring just 2 points, right?
