POST-GAME COMMENTS

Game recap: Crvena zvezda mts have scored a very valuable road win against Koper Primorska and have therefore made a big step toward the Playoffs. Still, this was not just a walk in the park for the reigning ABA League champions. The 10-man Koper Primorska squad, who played this game without 5 best players from the 1st part of the season, made quite a resistance, forcing the visitors to give everything they got in the last quarter to secure the win.

Crvena zvezda mts now have the overall score of 7-5, while Koper Primorska are still in front of the red & whites on the standings as they are now at 8-4.

Key moments: Koper Primorska managed to reduce the gap to just 6 points at the start of the 4th quarter – 70:64, but the hosts just did not have enough strength to make the full comeback. Crvena zvezda mts responded by making the crucial 11:2 run to increase their lead to 81:66. After that it was clear that the visitors would take the win.

Man of the match: Well. This time we have MEN of the match, as Dejan Davidovac and Branko Lazić both deserve this award. Each of them scored per 5 three-pointers and they were by far the top scorers in the winning team. Davidovac finished the match with 21 points (and 9 rebounds), while Lazić had 18 points.

Can’t trick the stats: Crvena zvezda mts big guys used their size to dominate the paint. The red & whites had 14 rebounds more than their rivals and that brought them big advantage down on the court.
