Game recap: Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have remained on the winning path as they beat Spartak Office Shoes on the road in this week's NLB Match of the Round.

The red-and-whites have once again managed to come back from a double-digit deficit and to seize a valuable win at the end, just like they did couple of times already in this season. Their today’s hero was Codi Miller-McIntyre who recorded his AdmiralBet ABA League career-high 39 index rating to lead the Belgrade side toward this tough road victory.

Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have therefore extended their winning streak to 7 games and they have the overall score of 8-2. On the other side, Spartak Office Shoes suffered their first defeat after 4 consecutive wins, but with the overall score of 6-4 they are still inside the Playoffs zone.

Key moments: Crvena zvezda Meridianbet scored 94 points this evening, but it was Spartak Office Shoes who was on fire at the start of this match. The home team scored 28 points in the opening quarter and gained a double-digit lead early in the game – 28:18, but that is something their opponents have already faced with in some earlier games this season.

And just like in the road games against Budućnost VOLI, Zadar and Mega MIS, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have once again managed to get their engines going after a slow start. The reigning champions have reduced their deficit to just 3 points until the halftime – 46:43, while then they took over the lead and the control over the game in the 3^rd quarter as they finished the 3^rd period up by 3 points – 75:72.

The Belgrade troops have even increased their lead to double digits in the 4^th quarter, while in the last 2 minutes of the match they managed to repel all Spartak Office Shoes attempts of making a late comeback.

Man of the match: Codi Miller-McIntyre was just brilliant this evening in Subotica. Crvena zvezda Meridianbet starting point guard recorded his AdmiralBet ABA League career-high 30 points and he recorded his AdmiralBet ABA League career-high 39 index rating. Also, on top of all that, he delivered 10 assists to complete a double-double achievement.

Can’t trick the stats: If you want to beat the reigning champions, you need to reduce your mistakes to a minimum. Yet, Spartak Office Shoes made 17 turnovers tonight and that is not something you want to have in your stats when facing such a powerful opponent.
