Red Star almost knocked Virtus out of the top six with a terrific Nedovic!

Back to winning ways with awesome Nemanja Nedovic o Red Star!

The “red and white” of Belgrade prevailed with a wide 94-79 Virtus Bolognain a game that was balanced until the first half, but then the hosts, led by the Serbian guard, stepped on the gas and cruised to victory.

Specifically, the former Panathinaikos player scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, while his worthy supporter was Joel Boloboi with 15 points and 5 rebounds. On the other side, the moving one stood out Tornik Sengelia with 25 points, but also Lundberg with 15 points.

Thus, Erythros rose to 11-20, without, however, having motivation in view of the continuation and the last matches, while Virtus (counts four consecutive defeats) fell to 17-14 and lost, as everything shows, the train to the six which secures a place in the Euroleague playoffs.
