VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

Game recap: It was one of those days when the underdog is not afraid of the big favorite. Not even when everything seems lost. Crvena zvezda Telekom made a 15:0 run in the first quarter and escaped to 19:10 at the end of the period, but Union Olimpija believed that they still have chance to get back to this game... The away squad managed to catch up already until the half time, while they completed the big comeback with outstanding attacking play in the last quarter in which they scored 28 points. For Crvena zvezda Telekom this defeat is not the biggest problem at the moment. Everyone in the club are much more worried about Luka Mitrović who was taken off the court due to knee injury.
