Baldwin led Crvena zvezda’s scoring with 23 points, while Semi Ojeleye added 18. Nwora contributed 16 points, with Carter finishing the game with 12.
Jones and Wailer-Babb also made significant contributions, recording eight assists each as Crvena zvezda shared the ball effectively throughout the game.
