In the second game of the ABA League playoff quarterfinal series, Cedevita Olimpija defeated Crvena Zvezda on its home court 92:86 and equalized at 1:1.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red-and-Whites had everything in their hands. They had the play, they had a 21-point lead. And they built all of that in the first 15 minutes. The problem was that they were catastrophic in the remaining 25 minutes and allowed Cedevita Olimpija to turn the game around and ultimately resolve the end of the match almost routinely. Now the series is at 1:1 and a decider will have to be played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crvena Zvezda started excellently, both in defense and in attack. After only six minutes, they had a 10-point advantage \u2013 16:6 after Butler’s basket with an additional free throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zvezda held a double-digit lead until the finish, when Jared Butler missed two forced shots and committed a foul for a 2+1. He allowed the home team to even reduce the gap to five points by the end of the first quarter. But they missed the three-pointer, and by the end, Jordan Nwora managed to score at the buzzer to bring a still comfortable +11 after the first quarter \u2013 29:18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zvezda started the second quarter like a hurricane. They made a 10-0 run and after two and a half minutes led 39:18. But from that moment on, Cedevita Olimpija woke up and responded with an 8-0 run, reducing it to 39:26. The run continued to 12-2 and Cedevita Olimpija reduced it to 41:30 three minutes before halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
