Game recap: Crvena zvezda mts have scored their 14^th win in a row in AdmiralBet ABA League as they defeated Mega Mozzart on the road.

The red-and-whites had problems at the start of the game as they were down by 5 after the opening quarter – 25:20, but then they turned on their famous “defense” mode that brought them so many wins this season. Crvena zvezda mts did not let Mega Mozzart score 20+ points in any of the remaining three quarters. And, when the visitors took over the lead late in the 1^st half they, they never looked back as they have remained in front all the way until the very end.

Crvena zvezda mts now have the overall score of 16-1, while Mega Mozzart are at 8-9.

Key moments: As we have previously mentioned, Crvena zvezda mts took over the lead late in the 1^st half, but the key period in this game was the 3^rd quarter in which the red-and-whites escaped on a double digit lead. The visiting team won the 3^rd period by 18:12 and they had an 11-point lead ahead of the last quarter – 63:52.

Man of the match: Ognjen Kuzmić has played probably his best game so far in this season as he recorded his season-high 17 points, while he also grabbed 6 rebounds. His overall index rating was 21.

Can’t trick the stats: Crvena zvezda mts made 15 offensive rebounds this evening! And, today’s MVP Ognjen Kuzmić made 5 out of those 15 offensive rebounds for the red-and-whites.
