Game recap: Crvena zvezda mts have scored a comfortable win against Cibona in the last match of Round 16, therefore extending their winning streak in this rivalry to 12 consecutive wins. Crvena zvezda mts haven’t lost a regular-season game against Cibona since 2009, while this evening the visitors did not come even close of breaking that streak.

Simply, Crvena zvezda mts have been dominating the court from the first to the last minute and the home side eventually seized a well-deserved win.

Key moments: Led by their starting point guard Lorenzo Brown, the home crew have gained a double-digit lead already in the 1^st quarter. Brown dished 8 assists only in this period and helped Crvena zvezda mts score 31 points in the opening 10 minutes – 31:17. The red & whites have kept a double-digit lead all the way until the end.  

Man of the match: That would be Lorenzo Brown who made another double-double performance. The American point guard had 13 points and 14 assists in this match, while his overall index rating was 27.

Can’t trick the stats: The visitors made 21 turnovers tonight which is just way too many if you want to beat the reigning champions. We will just add that Crvena zvezda mts had just 7 turnovers for the entire match.
