ABA League, 3rd round, Tuesday, 6.10.2015:
Zadar - CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM 49:56

Game recap: Crvena zvezda Telekom have improved their poor record in their all-time appearances in Zadar in the ABA League, by beating Ante Nazor's side in a clash of two defensively strong sides. In the end the teams combined 106 more, with zvezda having scored 7 more than the opponent and staying unbeaten after 3 rounds.

Key moments: The game was not decided any earlier than in the last minute. After Filip Kraljević scored a jumper to bring his team close to being only 3 points behind (49:52), Luka Mitrović scored 2 free throws on the opposite side. Due to Stefan Jović's turnover a few seconds later, Zadar had two offensive possessions in which they tried to lower the deficit. Glenn Cosey and Domagoj Bošnjak each trried a 3-point attempt, but both of them missed.

Man of the match: Even though he arrived to the red and white ranks only a few days ago on a short term contract, Marko Simonović is already proving his value for the team, led by Dejan Radonjić. This time was the top scorer of his team with 13 points and he grabbed 7 rebounds and stole 2 balls.

Can't trick the stats
: Although none of the teams shined in scoring from the field during the game, Zadar's three point shooting percent was terrible and directly decided the outcome of the game. The home team tried 19 shots from the perimeter, but scored only 2 (11%).
