Crvena zvezda basketball players defeated Monaco away with 100:96 in the match of the 23rd round of the EuroLeague.
What a game we watched, there was literally everything in these 45 minutes of basketball in Monaco. It seemed as if Zvezda would have a much easier match, at least it looked that way at the very start, when they showed they came for the points.
The red-and-whites opened the game in a great way, they took the lead very quickly and easily with 20:10, but then Saša Obradović changed the entire five and completely lost the advantage.
In the second period, practically everything could have been decided already, Zvezda took a huge 47:29 lead, but the identical mistake happened again when the lineup was changed.
Monaco returned completely to the match, they made a big run and reduced the deficit to only six points by halftime. The match then went into their hands and it seemed everything was going their way.
During the last period it was 87:77 in favor of Bayern, but Zvezda made a 13:3 run to come back, thanks to Jared Butler who hit a layup for overtime.
