Game recap: Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have scored their 11th consecutive win in the 2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season as they prevailed over Krka on the road.

The reigning champions eventually grabbed a comfortable win, but this match was everything but easy for the Belgrade giant. Crvena zvezda Meridianbet had to come back from a double-digit deficit and to work hard during the whole game in order to outplay a very good Krka crew.

Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have therefore finished a very successful year with a win and they now have the overall score of 12-2. On the other side, this was Krka’s 4^th consecutive defeat, but they are still in front of Cibona and Mornar-Barsko zlato on the standings as the Novo mesto troops have the overall score of 3-11.

Key moments: Zvezda’s reaction to their poor performance in the opening quarter was perhaps the key thing in this match. The red-and-whites were down by 9 points after the first 10 minutes – 18:27, but then they have managed to completely turn the things in their favor already by halftime.

The visitors won the 2^nd quarter by 24:14 and went to the halftime break up by 1 point – 42:41.

After that, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet increased the gap in the 3^rd quarter to 7 points – 63:56, while in the 4^th quarter they quickly reached a double-digit lead and then performed a routine finish.

Man of the match: Yago dos Santos has once again proved that he is currently playing in fantastic form. Crvena zvezda Meridianbet point guard led his team toward the win with 17 points and 6 assists.

Can’t trick the stats: Krka had a good start today, however as the game was progressing the home team was making more and more mistakes. At the end, Krka finished this match with 13 turnovers, while on the other side Crvena zvezda Meridianbet had just 6 turnovers for the entire game.
