With a tremendous performance in the fourth quarter (25-12), Darussafaka easily beat Crvena Zvezda on the road (61-80) and prevented the Serbians from securing a spot in the playoffs.
For the winners, who have already been eliminated, Scottie Wilbekin scored 19 points, as Jamon Gordon had 14 points and six assists. On the other hand, Quincy Miller scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the losing squad.
Crvena Zvezda made a better start to the game (8-2), but Darussafaka immediately responded (10-11). The hosts, though, played better and regained their lead at the end of the first quarter (20-15).
Later, the visitors managed to remain competitive (22-21, 31-31) and were in front by just one, after 20 minutes in the game (34-35).
In the second half, the Serbians went on a 14-8 run to take a five-point lead (48-43), but the Turks came back again and closed the third quarter in front by six (49-55), behind a 12-1 run of their own.
In the fourth quarter, Crvena Zvezda simply collapsed. Playing very badly on both ends of the floor, they were unable to make another come-back (52-65) and, consequently, Darussafaka escaped from Belgrade with a big victory, outscoring their opponents 25-12 in the last 10 minutes of the game.
