Game recap: Crvena zvezda Meridianbet cruised to a dominant 105:77 win over SC Derby in the postponed Round 27 game of the 2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season. Despite already being locked at the 4th place in the regular season standings, the red-and-whites showed no signs of slowing down and recorded their 10th consecutive win against SC Derby, staying undefeated in all their ABA League matchups against the Podgorica side.

With nothing on the line competitively, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet opted to give minutes to every available player — and it paid off. The Belgrade side delivered a complete team performance, lighting it up from behind the arc with an outstanding 16/25 shooting (64%) from three-point territory. The fans were also treated to a breakout moment from 19-year-old Andrej Kostić, who scored 8 consecutive points in the 4th quarter, setting his ABA League career-high.

Key moments: There was no dramatic turning point in this one — Zvezda dominated from tip-off to the final buzzer. The home team steadily increased their lead in every quarter, outplaying SC Derby on both ends of the floor.

Man of the match: While the spotlight may have been shared among several contributors, Luka Mitrović stood out as the most consistent force on the court. The experienced center finished the game with 15 points and 7 rebounds, controlling the paint and providing veteran stability. Mitrović’s impact on both ends helped maintain Zvezda’s rhythm and set the tone early in the game.

Can’t trick the stats: On top of their outstanding shooting night, we should also mention a great team work presented by Crvena zvezda Meridianbet squad as they delivered 30 assists in today’s match.
