Back to winning ways for him Red Star and… a gift to Olympiakos! His team Yannis Sfeiropoulou press it Valencia (82-64) and left it at 12-12, one victory below the “red and whites”.
Great match from Nemanja Nedovic, who scored 27 points on 5/6 3-pointers and… cleaned up the Spaniards, with Toby, Teodosic and Boloboi contributing significantly to the win. On the visitors side, Chris Jones and Damien English were in double figures but not enough, with the absence of Brandon Davies being more than visible.
Bad first period, with high failure rates on both sides and tough defenses. The Reds found themselves at +6 (9-3), but the visitors quickly reduced and closed the period with a short-headed lead (11-12). It was also the only one on behalf of the Spaniards, since with a 12-0 run the Serbs quickly found themselves at +11 (23-12) and began to impose their rhythm. The difference even reached its maximum value in the first half, at 15 (35-20), with the half ending at +9 and with a 39-30 score for the Reds who had Nedovic in a… crazy night, bombing outside the 6.75.
The water had entered the groove for the Red, who continued to excel in all statistical categories. Valencia, for its part, kept in the match due to the many shots it had (10/14), but the difference grew even more (61-48). Somehow, score management was the order of the day for Sphairopoulos’s side in the final, which they did after they managed to hold off Moubro’s team and take the pink card with a score of 82-64, going up 10-14.
The quarters: 11-12, 39-30, 61-49, 82-64.
