Pulling away late in the fourth quarter and building on leading for most of the 40 minutes, Cedevita Olimpija defeated Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet, 74-69, in Ljubljana’s Stozice Arena.
Following team practice with eight players, Milos Teodosic joined Mike Daum and Luka Mitrovic on the sidelines for the team coached by Greek Giannis Sfairopoulos. Nikola Kalinic piling up 18 points behind 8/9 field goals kept his side close on Sunday, but he was not enough to prevent a drop to 17-5 in the AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season.
The team guided by Montenegrin tactician Zvezdan Mitrovic jumped to 13-9, shortly after advancing to the Quarterfinals of the BKT EuroCup. Brynton Lemar and Devin Robinson shared a team-high 15 points. Aleksej Nikolic followed with 13 points.
Earlier, 19-year-old Bogoljub Markovic dropped 27 points, a new personal best for the 2024-25 campaign, fueling Mega Superbet in a win, 93-79, over Buducnost VOLI in Belgrade’s Ranko Zeravica Sports Hall.
Virtually leading the regional league with a 19-2 W-L tally, Partizan Mozzart Bet hosts FMP Soccerbet in Belgrade Arena to close Round 22 on Monday.
