Crvena zvezda mts will be continuing their EuroLeague Regular Season with nine triumphs on their record, as they have been defeated in the 21st round by Barcelona on the road in Spain. This win keeps the red and white of Belgrade short of the Playoffs Zone after 21 rounds, but they still have a chance to bounce back in the forthcoming rounds and achieve their goal of Qualifying into the Top 8 by the end of the regular season.
It has been an extremely exciting game all until the end and it could really go either way. With 2 and a half minutes remaining on the game clock, Barcelona were still up by only a point (79:78). However, within two next minutes, the hosts made a 7:2 run and pulled away to 86:80 with less than 50 seconds remaining and it became evident that the two points would stay in Barcelona.
The final score was 86:82 for the home squad. Lorenzo Brown scored 15 points for Barcelona and Kevin Punter 13.
