Another exciting end to the new defeat of the Red Star basketball team in the Euroleague, the fourth in a row after a perfect start to the season.
Now the "red and white" defeated the European champions - Panathinaikos won 81:77 in Belgrade, although they were in the deficit from the second half of the second quarter until two minutes before the end.
Zvezda took a 15:0 lead in the second period with a 44:30 series, and PAO only showed in the last 10 minutes that it is probably the main candidate for the trophy this season as well.
Kostas Slukas woke up, he also received the help of Kendrick Nan, so Zvezda slowly faltered, although it always found an answer - with triples by Aizea Kenan, then Ognejn Dobrić, and Filip Petrušev.
In the finish, however, Jago dos Santos committed an unnecessary foul with five seconds left (Lorenzo Braun was safe), and then after the time-out, Miloš Teodosić missed everything in a shot outside the line 6,75.
Kenan shot three-pointers 7-6 and had 20 points, with the visitors the most efficient tandem was Brown - Juancho Hernangomes with 12 points each.
Zvezda is at 3-4, and the "greens" celebrated for the fifth time...
Partizan had no chance against the long-range shooting of Fenerbahçe, so it suffered its fifth failure without reaction - 89:72, after Fener scored 19 three-pointers.
Nigel Hayes-Davies was the best in Šarunas Jasikevičius (24), Frank Nilikina had 14 in Partizan.
The leader is Žalgiris, which continued its incredible streak - it was better than Monaco (63:62) and registered its fifth triumph in a row (6-1 result), while Bayern celebrated its fourth consecutive victory (beating Asvel 84:77 away).
