Crvena Zvezda came back from a 14-point deficit in the mid of the third quarter to ultimately down Mornar Bar 82 – 71 and remain perfect in ABA League with a… phenomenal 20/20 record.
The guests (7-13) took advantage of their opponents absences (Stefan Jovic, Nemanja Dangubic) and were in control of the game for 25 minutes, holding a 38 – 52 lead halfway through the third period. Yet it completely lost their grip in by the end of the fourth quarter when Red Star made it 60 – 58, never looking back after it.
Marko Simonovic paced the winners with 15 points while Charles Jenkins added 12 plus 7 assists and Branko Lazic 12 points as well. For Mornar Bar, Antabia Walker had 15 points. Partizan (15-5), Cedevita (14-6) and Buducnost (14-6) complete the top four teams of the standings.
