There was plenty of drama, which the home team created for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clash, which had its own unusual prelude in the form of a problem for the Serbian club that was left without jerseys after washing, started with a scheduled delay of half an hour, as new equipment was awaited from the airport after being sent from Belgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the game eventually started, and very well for the red-and-whites. Both teams opened the match firmly, with Joel Bolomboy marking the early stage with six points up to the score of 8:8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan Nwora hit a three-pointer to give the visitors an 11:8 lead, while Hassiel Rivero, who had nine points by the break, added to that. The red-and-whites more or less held the difference until two minutes before the end of the first quarter, when free throws and a three-pointer by Brizuela brought a turnaround. Still, Rivero secured a 20:18 lead for the team from Mali Kalemegdan at the end of the first ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a spin move <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JordanNwora?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JordanNwora<\/a> \ud83c\udf2a\ufe0f<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:\/\/t.co\/mq83I34IWf\">pic.twitter.com\/mq83I34IWf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; KK Crvena zvezda Meridianbet (@kkcrvenazvezda) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kkcrvenazvezda\/status\/2037643154845827332?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 27, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule, the quarters started slowly in terms of scoring, but in the second half of the second quarter both teams finally found their rhythm. At that point, Joel Parra stepped up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one side it was Nwora, on the other him, and the Barcelona forward, along with Norris, managed to take the home team to 40:32. However, that was not all from the visitors in this part of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Serbian side went to the free-throw line frequently toward the end of the half, mostly converting, which cut the home team\u2019s lead to just 42:40\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dobri\u0107 opened the second half with a three-pointer, although shooting had not really served either team from the start. The back-and-forth in the opening minutes of the third quarter was broken thanks to inspired Will Clyburn, who scored six consecutive points and turned a one-point deficit into a 53:48 lead for Barca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quarter practically ended in that rhythm, while the red-and-whites somehow stayed in the game thanks to Nwora, who scored five straight points at one moment to reduce it to 55:53. Despite the opponent, through Satoransky, Vesel\u00fd and Punter, restoring a solid lead of 64:58, optimism remained in Zvezda\u2019s ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A miracle happened in the final quarter, which after three and a half minutes began with a score of 2:2. Barca flirted with a double-digit lead, and at 68:60 Ojeleye hit a very, very important three-pointer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nwora brought the game back within two possessions, but everyone thought it was over when Cody Miller-McIntyre threw an air ball with 34 seconds remaining, after which Shengelia increased the lead to five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler made all three free throws with 13 seconds left, and the same player secured overtime after a drive, as the home team failed to close out the game with missed free throws!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overtime started excitingly, with Clyburn and Butler exchanging three-pointers, but then Will and Satoransky steered the game in the direction the Spanish club\u2019s fans wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zvezda had a possession at 89:86 to tie the game, but they failed to capitalize, which ultimately proved decisive, and in the free-throw finish Barcelona secured the win and improved to 20-14. Zvezda dropped to tenth place with a 19-15 record.<\/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!
