Montenegrin coach Duško Ivanovic suffered one of the toughest defeats in his illustrious career in Belgrade, against the team he had managed not so long ago.

Red Star basketball players "smashed" Virtus in the 31st round of the Euroleague - 88:52, for the club's most convincing victory ever in the European elite.

And the best indication of how poorly the Italian great played is that he scored barely 27 points by halftime, and 37 after three quarters...

What is much more important for Giannis Sferopoulos' men than a convincing victory is that with this triumph they remained in the playoff zone with a score of 18-13, while Ivanovic's team once again showed why they are among the weakest all season.

Red Star's biggest win in the Euroleague was by 33 points against Panathinaikos 81:48, and that was exactly the result shown on the scoreboard in the Belgrade Arena after Miloš Teodosić's three-pointer for 81:48 with three and a half minutes left.

The "red and white" didn't stop there, but went on to reach the maximum plus 36 and a record victory in Euroleague history.

Dejan Davidovac scored 17 points for the winning team, Filip Petrushev added 16 (had six assists and four rebounds), Cody Miller McIntyre 11, Ajzea Kenan nine...

On the other side, Tornike Shengelia scored 13 points, while Will Clyburn had one less point.

Earlier tonight, Anadolu Efes defeated Baskonia (92:76) in Istanbul.
