Easy job for Red Star at home. The Serbian team beats BC Vienna (108-99) and keeps climbing in Group B of ABA (10-3).
Jordan Nwora (23 p.) was the top scorer for Crvena Zvezda. Jared Butler, Codi Miller-McIntyre, and Chima Moneke did not suit up. Devonte Graham did not play either. The point guard accumulates five games in a row without being called up.
The Serbian team didn’t have any problem before the break. Ognjen Dobric and Nwora led the way at home (60-47) after a strong first quarter.
Although Vienna tried to react in the third quarter with a quick 5-14 run, Obradovic‘s team kept punishing from beyond the arc to secure the win at home (108-99). Eight victories in a row for Crvena Zvezda in the ABA. They haven’t lost since Round 7.
