CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS - Igokea 85:80 (22:19, 26:19, 16:20, 21:22)
Game recap: Like every time they face each other, the match between Crvena zvezda mts and Igokea was quite exciting. At the end, the red & white team prevailed, and considering the fact they have been in front throughout the whole game this was a well-deserved win for the reigning ABA League champions. Also, it must be said that this was the 5th consecutive win for Crvena zvezda mts in the 2017/18 ABA League regular season.
Key moments: At the start of the 4th quarter, Igokea reduced the margin to just 5 points – 66:61 and had a chance to reduce it even more, however Malcolm Lee’s lay-up attempt was blocked by Crvena zvezda mts youngster Dejan Davidovac, who then ran all over the court and made an alley-oop pass to Mathias Lessort – 68:61. Just couple of seconds later, the same player – Dejan Davidovac – made a steal and this time he made a great pass to Milko Bjelica who scored 2 and one – 71:61! For less than 30 seconds Crvena zvezda mts regained a double-digit…
Man of the match: There is no doubt – Dejan Davidovac was the X-Factor for Crvena zvezda mts in this match. He scored 8 points, had 5 assists and 3 rebounds and was the key player for his team in crucial moments.
Can’t trick the stats: Turnovers. Igokea played a good match this evening, but they had too many turnovers – 16. You have to reduce that number if you want to beat Crvena zvezda mts away.
