The final score was 77-58 for Crvena Zvezda after a game that was decided during the second period. Branko Lazic with 17 points was the scoring leader of the winners and Ognen Kuzmic added 16 points and 8 rebounds.
It was more than obvious that the team had very different goals, as the Serbs got their 13th win in 23 games and are still on the path to the playoffs, while the Turks have to settle for a 7-16 record. After the first quarter, during which Galatasaray trailed by three (20-17), everything went downhill for them.
Zvezda had a 48-29 lead by halftime, Galatasaray scored only 12 point in the second quarter and the game was over. Vladimir Micov with 11 points was the only player of the guests who scored in double digits, Zvezda was better in every aspect of the game and forced 21 turnovers by Galatasaray. It’s a key number that describes accurately what happened on the court.
