Match Preview
Crvena Zvezda are under massive pressure after wasting a 21-point lead in Game 2, and now their entire season is on the line against unpredictable Cedevita Olimpija. Which side will advance to the ABA League semifinals?
Zvezda Under Pressure
After an underwhelming end to their EuroLeague campaign, losing 80-72 to Barcelona in the play-in, Crvena Zvezda shifted full focus to domestic competitions.
They ended the ABA League regular season with an 81-74 defeat to Partizan, finishing 3rd with an 18-6 record. Chima Moneke stood out in that contest with 19 points and five rebounds.
Jordan Nwora also played a massive role in the opening win against Cedevita Olimpija, recording 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the 101-92 victory. Tyson Carter added 17 points in one of his best offensive performances of the season.
However, the Red and Whites blew a 21-point lead in Game 2 in Slovenia and eventually lost 92-86 after a poor second half. Their shooting numbers remained extremely strong at 71% from two-point range, but they finished with just 24 rebounds and committed 18 turnovers.
Olimpija Enjoying the Underdog Role
Cedevita Olimpija struggled to contain Crvena Zvezda’s transition offense in Game 1 in Belgrade, suffering a 101-92 defeat. Their rebounding numbers were poor at 23-32, although most other stats looked solid, especially their 67% shooting from two-point range. Umoja Gibson led the team with 19 points and nine assists.
Their rebounding improved drastically in Game 2, where they grabbed 16 offensive rebounds in a 92-86 comeback victory to level the series. Gibson was once again the standout performer with 26 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
Verdict
I don’t expect Crvena Zvezda to underestimate the opposition again after wasting such a huge lead in Game 2. Back on home court, I am backing the Red and Whites to cover the -8.5 handicap.
Crvena Zvezda -8.5
