(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basketball players of Crvena zvezda survived a true thriller in the eighth round of the EuroLeague, where they, as the visiting team in the &#8220;Aleksandar Nikoli\u0107&#8221; Hall, defeated Maccabi with a score of 99:92. The winner was decided in the final minutes, and the red-and-whites registered their sixth straight win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maccabi played its recognizable fast-paced game against Zvezda, which brought results on offense but created problems defensively. Zvezda knew exactly how to exploit the porous defense of the Israeli team, led by Miller-McIntyre, who scored 14 points in the first quarter and guided the team that was much better offensively than its rival, especially from long range, creating the initial lead (33:26). The red-and-whites kept the same rhythm until halftime, as Moneke joined Cody, and the difference grew into double digits, remaining stable with complete control by Obradovi\u0107\u2019s players on both ends of the court (58:48).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maccabi played stronger after the break and reduced the deficit to four midway through the quarter, but two successful attacks from Miller-McIntyre repelled that surge, restoring a seven-point cushion, which was quickly erased in the fourth quarter. Mistakes by the red-and-whites and Maccabi\u2019s efficient offense turned the game around, giving the Israeli team the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New signature move <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chimdogg_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Chimdogg_<\/a> ? \ud83e\udd29<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/kkcz?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#kkcz<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WeAreTheTeam?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WeAreTheTeam<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EveryGameMatters?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EveryGameMatters<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hNWewhVtEt\">pic.twitter.com\/hNWewhVtEt<\/a><\/p>&mdash; KK Crvena zvezda Meridianbet (@kkcrvenazvezda) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kkcrvenazvezda\/status\/1983980781644214379?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Star fans were also pleased to see Butler, the team\u2019s new addition, though it was evident he would need some time to adapt to European basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maccabi couldn\u2019t have had a worse start, as Zvezda overwhelmed them with three-pointers. Miller-McIntyre and Motiejunas each made two, while Kalini\u0107 and Miljenovi\u0107 added one apiece, creating a significant gap between the rivals (18:11). Until Hord quietly asserted himself as Maccabi\u2019s main threat, the Israeli team lacked a true leader, since the red-and-whites successfully neutralized Walker. On the other hand, Cody not only scored but orchestrated the offense brilliantly, dictating the tempo, helping Zvezda reach 33 points in the first ten minutes (33:26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the explosive start, the second part of the quarter featured many stoppages, with most points coming from free throws. Zvezda shot 7\/8 from the line, while Maccabi hit 11\/14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cody ignited Moneke, who became the team\u2019s engine on both ends in the second quarter, allowing the lead to grow. Maccabi missed a lot during that stretch, but good offensive rebounding kept them in the game. Once the Belgrade team established balance in that segment, the biggest issue was solved, and the lead hovered around double digits, reaching as high as 14 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sides still focused more on offense than defense, producing a high-scoring half. Hord continued to be Maccabi\u2019s main weapon, while Brissett and Sorkin contributed solidly, improving the team\u2019s offensive impression compared to the first quarter (22:25). Still, their porous defense was evident, having conceded 58 points in 20 minutes (58:48).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maccabi raised its intensity, changing the game\u2019s dynamic. Zvezda was no longer as confident and dominant offensively. Again, play was frequently interrupted, and Walker missed the chance to further complicate matters for the rival, converting just one of three free throws in a crucial stretch. However, Hord and Walker made back-to-back threes, reducing the gap to four points (59:63).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">DOOOOOOBRIIIIIIIIIII\u0106 \ud83d\udc0d\ud83d\udc0d\ud83d\udc0d<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/kkcz?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#kkcz<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WeAreTheTeam?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WeAreTheTeam<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EveryGameMatters?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EveryGameMatters<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zJ9EZoZkn4\">pic.twitter.com\/zJ9EZoZkn4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; KK Crvena zvezda Meridianbet (@kkcrvenazvezda) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kkcrvenazvezda\/status\/1984007241117397069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ojeleye responded with a three-pointer, and Miller-McIntyre added two baskets to restore a more comfortable lead, though his team failed to capitalize earlier due to missed free throws and turnovers. That run fended off Maccabi\u2019s push and preserved a six-point advantage, but it didn\u2019t last long (77:71).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within two minutes of the fourth quarter, Maccabi took the lead (78:77). Zvezda was in trouble as both Kalini\u0107 and Moneke played with four fouls, and Nikola fouled out six minutes before the end. Ojeleye stepped up but couldn\u2019t score, then committed his fourth foul, while Clark fouled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cody made two crucial plays \u2014 setting up baskets for Moneke and Izuundu, before Ebuka scored again to restore the lead (84:81).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Izuundu played excellently on both ends, scoring from the free-throw line and under the basket before slamming home a dunk off Cody\u2019s assist to make it 94:88 two minutes before the end. Zvezda had some luck, as several of Maccabi\u2019s long-range attempts narrowly missed. In the final minute, Dobri\u0107\u2019s three-pointer seemed to seal the win, though Blatt immediately responded with one of his own. However, there wasn\u2019t enough time for a comeback. Zvezda triumphed 99:92 after Ojeleye\u2019s free throws, securing their sixth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the next round, Zvezda will host Panathinaikos, while Maccabi will face Monaco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/thank-you-trump-for-correcting-the-injustice-milorad-dodik-spoke-out-about-the-lifting-of-american-sanctions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cTHANK YOU TRUMP FOR CORRECTING THE INJUSTICE\u201d: Milorad Dodik spoke out about the lifting of American sanctions!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/they-are-no-longer-on-the-black-list-the-usa-lifted-sanctions-on-milorad-dodik-and-zeljka-cvijanovic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THEY ARE NO LONGER ON THE BLACK LIST: The USA lifted sanctions on Milorad Dodik and \u017deljka Cvijanovi\u0107!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/turkish-journalist-sharply-responded-to-spajic-you-accepted-criminals-and-now-you-are-shifting-the-blame-to-turkey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TURKISH JOURNALIST SHARPLY RESPONDED TO SPAJI\u0106: \u201cYou accepted criminals, and now you are shifting the blame to Turkey!\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/roads-of-serbia-deny-themselves-the-roads-to-novi-sad-will-not-be-closed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cROADS OF SERBIA\u201d DENY THEMSELVES: The roads to Novi Sad will not be closed!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/great-recognition-for-a-serbian-from-chicago-doctor-knezevic-included-among-the-top-2-percent-of-scientists-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">GREAT RECOGNITION FOR A SERBIAN FROM CHICAGO: Doctor Kne\u017eevi\u0107 included among the top 2 percent of scientists in the world!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source<\/strong>: Sportal, <strong>Foto: <\/strong>Bane T.
