EL: Zvezda down Žalgiris on the road

After going through a pretty tough period over this week, Crvena zvezda mts have bounced back on their feet by scoring a big away win against Zalgiris Kaunas in Round 10 of the 2019/20 EuroLeague regular season! The red & whites therefore returned on the winning path and gained some very valuable confidence for the upcoming games.

Zvezda defeated Zalgiris in a thrilling ending. Lorenzo Brown scored a 2-pointer on 15 seconds before the end of the match to put the Belgrade team in front – 60:58. On the other side of the court, Marius Grigonis scored just 1 out of 2 free-throws – 60:59, so the home team had to quickly make a foul on Crvena zvezda mts shooting guard Billy Baron. With just 4.4 seconds left on the game clock Baron missed the first free-throw, but he scored the second one for 61:59. In the remaining time, Zalgiris point guard Lukas Lekavicius managed to run all the way to the other side of the court and to pull up for the 3-point shot… Luckily, he missed and Crvena zvezda mts won the match.

Crvena zvezda mts now have the overall score of 3-7.
