In the fifth round of the EuroCup Top 16, Crvena zvezda mts suffered a defeat on the road in France, where they have faced CSP Limoges in the game where winning was a must for them. The game did not start just the way the red and white had planned, as they were down by 5 points at halftime, but they turned the game completely around with fantastic third quarter, in which they have prevailed with the partial score of 25:8 and led by 12 points before the beginning of the final 10 minutes.
However, the last quarter the squad led by Milan Tomić from the bench, did not manage to stick to their lead and suffered a 72:71 defeat eventually. For Zvezda, Joe Ragland led the way in scoring with 15 points, while Billy Baron added 12.
On Wednesday, Partizan NIS will face Rytas of Vilnius in Group E, while Cedevita will play against MoraBanc Andorra in Group H.
