First, it was saved by D\u017eered Butler with a three-pointer for overtime, and then in overtime \u010cima Moneke played as if in a trance and brought the win for a return to the battle for the Top 6!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zvezda opened the game well through Nwora, who quickly scored eight points on his own, and Zvezda had a nine-point lead at one moment, going up 20:11, but Baskonia responded with an 8:0 run, and by the end of the first quarter we watched an even contest, with Zvezda leading 28:27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zvezda started the second quarter very poorly, nervously on offense and with bad defense, so Baskonia built a double-digit lead by the end of the period. Zvezda conceded as many as 52 points by halftime, and it was clear that something had to change in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zvezda again started the next period poorly, which Baskonia used to increase the lead and reach a maximum of +13, which they held on two occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, late in the third quarter, Diakite made a huge mistake and after his fourth foul began to lash out at the referees and his own bench, after which he received a technical foul and was ejected from the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Forrest on a MISSION tonight \ud83d\ude24<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MotorolaMagicMoment?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MotorolaMagicMoment<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Moto?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Moto<\/a> I <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Baskonia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Baskonia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dnJ86p0hAg\">pic.twitter.com\/dnJ86p0hAg<\/a><\/p>&mdash; EuroLeague (@EuroLeague) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EuroLeague\/status\/2036918890891272667?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Zvezda took advantage and quickly cut the deficit, reducing it to just half a point by the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good stretch followed for Zvezda, which had a six-point lead late, but Luwawu brought Baskonia back to life with two three-pointers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baskonia even had a great chance to secure the win, as it led by three, but Butler hit a three-pointer to force overtime, after which Zvezda played good defense and stayed alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overtime followed in which \u010cima Moneke completely dominated and ultimately brought a gold-worthy victory to Zvezda.<\/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><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/leaked-details-of-peace-plan-pakistanis-reveal-what-donald-trump-offered-to-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">LEAKED DETAILS OF PEACE PLAN: Pakistanis reveal what Donald Trump offered to Iran!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/provocations-on-the-anniversary-of-the-nato-aggression-albanians-ran-wild-on-the-highway-through-serbia-and-showed-symbols-of-greater-albania-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PROVOCATIONS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATO AGGRESSION: Albanians ran wild on the highway through Serbia and showed symbols of \u201cGreater Albania\u201d!
