There are no more unbeaten teams in the EuroLeague. Zalgiris was the last, but they also fell, losing in Belgrade. Crvena Zvezda triumphed in front of their fans against the Lithuanians with a score of 88-79, in Sasa Obradovic’s first game back with the red-and-whites.
The top scorer for the winning team was the incredible Jordan Nwora, who also secured the win for his team. He scored 24 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Chima Moneke and Donatas Motiejunas each added 13 points.
For the visitors, Arnas Butkevicius and Maodo Lo scored 14, while Sylvain Francisco added 13.
It was an excellent game in Belgrade—Zalgiris even held the lead entering the final quarter, but they could do nothing against Jordan Nwora. The former Efes player caught fire, scoring nine consecutive points and almost single-handedly bringing victory to the home side.
After four rounds, Crvena Zvezda has a 2-2 record and will host Real Madrid in the fifth round, while Zalgiris stands at 3-1 and will face Olimpia Milano at home in two days.
