Real Madrid defeated Red Star Belgrade in another in a series of decisive games for a place in the Euroleague playoffs - 78:72.

Kralj took a 14:0 lead and led the entire game, mostly by double digits, but Red Star closed the gap with good defense in the second half, and 45 seconds before the end, a three-pointer by Miller-McIntyre brought them within two points of the deficit.

Campazzo, however, was calm from the penalty spot, so Madrid overtook Red Star in the standings due to the better head-to-head record.

Both teams have a record of 18-14 and are in a group of five teams between 6th and 10th place that have such a balance.

Efes is sixth, Barcelona seventh, Real eighth, Red Star ninth, and Paris tenth...

Paris could ruin many people's plans with a sensational away win over Panathinaikos - 101:98.

Earlier, on a neutral field in Riga, Efes had a hard time defeating Maccabi - 90:88, even though the Israelis had an attack to win at -1.

Fenerbahçe was somewhat more confident against Baskonia in Istanbul - 82:77. Šarūnas Jasikėvičius' team took first place in the standings, due to a better head-to-head record than Olympiacos.

The result of the day, however, comes from Berlin.

In the derby of the bottom, a duel between two last-placed teams, Virtus, led by Montenegrin coach Duško Ivanovic, outclassed Alba by an incredible 44 points - 108:64!

Just two days ago, Virtus lost to Red Star Belgrade by 36 points.
