The Serbian team beat Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv (4-6) 69-68 (27-18, 9-11, 14-18, 19-21) and claimed the third win in a row.

The game was close for the whole match. Hassan Martin made four free throws in a row, Ognjen Dobric added a layup in the fast break, and with 3:03 remaining, Zvezda built an 8-point lead.

However, Lorenzo Brown scored four consecutive points and, with 1:33 left, cut Maccabi's deficit to 3 points (66-69).

Crvena Zvezda took the timeout but lost the ball, and on the side of the court, Roman Sorkin successfully tipped the ball, leaving the hosts with a 1-point advantage (69-68).

Luca Vildoza's desperate 3-point attempt ended up in an airball, and Maccabi were left with 23.5 seconds for their final attack.

Wade Baldwin almost lost the ball, but the visitors still had 9.3 seconds left. However, it was another chaotic attack, and Lorenzo Brown's 3-pointer didn't even touch the rim, and Crvena Zvezda maintained their 1-point lead.

Nemanja Nedovic led Crvena Zvezda with 12 points (2/5 2PT, 2/4 3PT, 2/2 FT), 2 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist, 3 turnovers, and 9 PIR.

Meanwhile, Brown accumulated 23 points (4/8 2PT, 3/8 3PT, 6/6 FT), 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers, 6 drawn fouls, and 30 PIR.

Crvena Zvezda: Nemanja Nedovic 12 (2/5 2PT), Hassan Martin 11 (2/6 2PT, 7/8 FT), Ben Bentil 9.

Maccabi: Lorenzo Brown 23 (4/8 2PT, 3/8 3PT, 6 REB, 7 AST, 30 PIR), Roman Sorkin 16 (8/9 2PT, 20 PIR), Josh Nebo 10.
