Blowing out FMP Soccerbet, 97-63, in Belgrade Arena on Sunday evening sent Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet to a sixth consecutive win between the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and AdmiralBet ABA League in just over two weeks.
Filip Petrusev packing 21 points with 7/14 from the field shared a game-high 21 points with Filip Barna of FMP. Nemanja Nedovic and Rokas Giedraitis followed with 14 and 13 points, respectively, in Round 15 of the ABA Regular Season.
Besides extending the streak in the 2024-25 campaign, Zvezda also recorded a 42nd straight win in the head-to-head series opposite the Panthers.
Isaiah Canaan, Mike Daum, Yago Dos Santos, and Branko Lazic were out for the team coached by Giannis Sfairopoulos. In contrast, Ognjen Dobric recovered from an ankle injury and put up seven points with 3/5 field goals, lasting nearly 14 minutes.
With Partizan Mozzart Bet looking to improve to 13-2 on Monday, the fellow EuroLeague outfit went up to 13-2 and rejoined Buducnost VOLI on top of the standings of the regional league.
