2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 8, Sunday, 12.11.2017:
CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS - FMP 84:77 (19:18, 17:17, 26:20, 22:22)
Game recap: Crvena zvezda mts will stay in the top four in the ABA League standings, as they have achieved a new triumph, their third in a row, against the city rivals of Belgrade, FMP. The red and white have cracked the resistance of the visiting team only in the dying minutes of the game. For FMP, this is the end of the winning way, as they have triumphed convincingly over Cibona in the Round 7 of the season.
Key moments: The last time that the teams were close was with four and half minutes to go in the game, when Zvezda led 74:73. However, a 5:0 run by Zvezda followed in the next minute and a half, which put the hosts up by 79:73. This was a point from which there was no return for FMP.
Man of the match: James Feldeine! Excellent shooting guard led Crvena zvezda mts to victory against FMP with 31 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, just as many steals and a valuation of 29. He scored no less than 7 three-pointers, which evens this season’s ABA League single game record in number of 3-pointers made by a player, previously set by Partizan NIS’ Vanja Marinković! He is deservedly our man of the match.
Can't trick the stats: Assists/turnovers ratio is where the two teams get separated. While Crvena zvezda mts had 18 assists and 11 turnovers, the picture was different at the side of FMP – 15 assists and just as many turnovers.
