This year\u2019s Radivoj Kora\u0107 Cup has concluded, and the trophy remains with its current holder. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet triumphed over Partizan after overtime with a score of 89:83 (16:20, 24:17, 18:20, 19:20, 12:6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The electric atmosphere in a packed \u201c\u010cair\u201d arena set the stage for an intense 45-minute basketball battle. Unlike their recent EuroLeague clash, this derby delivered higher quality and a trophy-worthy fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The match was tight throughout, with no team gaining a significant lead, except for Partizan briefly in the second quarter. The game was filled with impressive plays, aggressive defense, and tension until the final buzzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coaches surprisingly started Koprivica and Petru\u0161ev at center instead of Tyrique and Bolomboy. This affected Partizan\u2019s early rebounding struggles, while Zvezda\u2019s performance hinged on Petru\u0161ev\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petru\u0161ev dominated the paint early, scoring eight points in ten minutes, keeping Zvezda in the game. Partizan gained control with Tyrique\u2019s entry and open shots, led by Poku\u0161evski\u2019s initiative, ending the first quarter 20:16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Partizan continued strong in the second quarter, leading by nine points, but Zvezda\u2019s free throws and rebounds closed the gap. Petru\u0161ev\u2019s return and three quick attacks kept Zvezda competitive, finishing the half 40:37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second half was a back-and-forth contest. Zvezda increased its lead to six, but Partizan\u2019s Karlik turned the game around with steals and crucial points, making it 50:47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final quarter saw intense exchanges, with Karlik and Washington for Partizan and Kalini\u0107 and Dobri\u0107 for Zvezda leading the charge. A dramatic sequence in the last minutes led to a 77:77 tie and overtime after a controversial free throw incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In overtime, Kodi stepped up for Zvezda, scoring key points, while Kalini\u0107\u2019s free throws secured the lead. Kodi\u2019s final dunk sealed the 89:83 victory, as Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet defended its Kora\u0107 Cup title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
