The match

Kalinic and Ivanovic somewhat closed the difference for the hosts, with the first ten minutes to be completed 20-21.
The Bavarians got better in the second ten minutes, and with easy baskets of Wheeler-Bubb and Walden escaped at +7 and 29-22 at 12 ‘. Then the Serbs found four collected shots behind the 6.75m. for overtaking (36-33 in 16 ‘), maintaining this slim lead of one point until the break and 46-45.
The derby continued in the second half, indicative that neither team could escape with more than five points, while the lead changed hands seven times! The Reds were 56-51 ahead in the 25th minute, but a “blackout” allowed the Germans to run a 9-0 run with LuτσιiÏ„Ï‚ to achieve in this period five points for the overthrow (56-60 in 27 ‘). The quarter ended at +2 for the whole of Trinkeri and 67-65.
In fact, with a two-pointer by Hunter in the first minute of the fourth period, Bayern Munich went to +4 (65-69). Somewhere there, however, the Red Star raised the pace vertically, and with pluralism in the attack ran an impressive 11-0 series, escaping for the first time at +8 (78-70 in 35 ‘).
