This Euroleague week was definitely not successful for Crvena zvezda mts. After losing at home against Olympiacos, the red & white squad got defeated by Barcelona on the road this Friday evening.
It was obvious that Crvena zvezda mts players were quite tired due to that exhausting match against Olympiacos from two days ago. They could not find the right rhythm offensively, which explains just 54 points scored in this game. The Belgrade side had a lot of problems with their long-range shots, they made just 5 three-pointers out of 29 attempts.
On the other side, Barcelona had a totally different night. The hosts were hitting 3-pointers from all over the gym, while at the end they had 12 of them in the stats sheet.
This defeat has made things much more complicated for Crvena zvezda mts in their race for the Euroleague Playoffs. They now have 1 win more than the 9th placed Darussafaka, with 2 more rounds left to be played in the regular season.
Euroleague Regular Season, Round 28, Friday, 24.3.2017:
BARCELONA LASSA - Crvena zvezda mts 67:54 (17:18, 15:11, 20:14, 15:11)
Perperoglou 17, Koponen 13; Jenkins 8, Wolters 8.
