No, it is not an upset or a miracle. This has become quite normal lately in Europe. Crvena zvezda mts have scored their 7th consecutive win in Euroleague after beating Panathinaikos at home!
There is no more doubt, the red & white squad from Belgrade is currently playing the best basketball in Europe! If you do not believe, check out the numbers - Crvena zvezda mts is the only club in the 2016/17 season who managed to score 7 wins in a row in Euroleague!
And the last one was quite sweet for all their fans.
Zvezda defeated Panathinaikos in front of 8,000+ spectators in Aleksandar Nikolić Sports Hall and continued their amazing streak in this competition. The game itself was pretty intense, while at the end the crucial thing was, once again, that fantastic defense of the red & white team.
The boys coached by Dejan Radonjić conceded only 3 points in the last 5 minutes of the match and prevailed against mighty PAO.
