Game 3 of the Serbian finals played out as expected. Partizan got an easy win against Crvena Zvezda and the final score (78-72) is kind of misleading. The host team had a 14 points advantage entering the last quarter and Zvezda with a partial score 24-16 in the last ten minutes cut the final point difference to six points. However, the guest team was always trailing and Partizan was never really scared by them.

It was a big night for 23 years forward Vladimir Lucic (photo) who had an impressive stats line with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assist. The top scorer for Zvezda was Bojan Popovic with 14 points, getting half of them from the free throws line (7/7).
