By Eurohoops Team/ info@eurohoops.net

While Partizan Belgrade keeps on being undefeated in the ABA League, Crvena Zvezda suffered its first loss in the competition at the hands of KK Zadar, who imposed itself 98-96 on the road.

Antonio Jordano and Dario Dreznjak were the main protagonists of the victorious team, ending the game respectively with 23 and 22 points.

The first double-double of Luca Vildoza, who had 16 points and 11 assists, wasn’t enough for the red-and-white team. Ben Bentil added 19 points and 8 rebounds.

The away team started the game hot, closing the second quarter up by 11 points, and didn’t let it go anymore.

Despite some good shooting percentages (54.3% 2FG, 42.4% 3FG, and 94.1% FT), the EuroLeague side couldn’t manage to reduce the gap.

However, they went close to tying the game at the last minute, producing a 30-23 run in the fourth quarter.
