Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade's guard sank a game-winning 3-pointer and led his team 76-73 win over Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade.

On top of that, he accumulated 20 points, 4 assists, 7 drawn fouls, and 17 PIR. And after a big win, big talk is certified.

"What can I say," Nedovic told EuroLeague TV after the game. "I think it's the best feeling ever. To fight like this, as we fought in an atmosphere like this, is unbelievable. We got the chance to win the game, and we took it. I didn't make one shot the whole game, but I was 100% sure I'll make the last one. A big one for us. Let's keep it rolling."

"I've heard people say we were the main dish today," Nedovic continued. "We didn't taste good. We kept believing. We were thinking if we stay close in the game until the last quarter, we'll have a chance to win."

Fortunately, we had big stops in the end. Luka had two big shots and assists. And we won," Nedovic concluded.

The 31-year-old guard was referring to Mathias Lessort's comments before the game, who claimed that the Crvena Zvezda game would be the main dish.

"The victory against Buducnost will mean absolutely nothing if we don't repeat the same against Zvezda. Now we had an appetizer, but the main course on the menu comes on Thursday," Lessort told Mozzart Sport.
