All odds were against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, but it held the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague’s second-best offense to just 8 points in the first quarter and a home season-low 73 points after 40 minutes.

Crvena Zvezda overcame frontcourt absences to grab morale-boosting win

All odds were against [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/roster/red/?season=2024-25) on Thursday evening. The Serbian team traveled to Greece without their three bigs, [Joel Bolomboy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/joel-bolomboy-out-3-6-weeks-with-ankle-sprain/), [Filip Petrusev](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/filip-petrusev/011194/) and [Luka Mitrovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/luka-mitrovic/002553/), with the former two also being their standout players this season. Zvezda headed into the game on the back of a three-game losing streak against an [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/roster/oly/?season=2024-25) side that had won 13 of its previous 14 games.

Yet, when the 10 starters stepped onto the floor, the visitors demonstrated that none of this really mattered. Zvezda held the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague’s second-best offense (87.4 ppg. before Thursday's game) to just 8 points in the first quarter and a home season-low 73 points after 40 minutes.

Ioannis Sfairopoulos was forced to deploy small-ball lineups that stretched the floor and confused Olympiacos. The visitors fired on all cylinders, having gone 13 of 26 from deep and out-Olympiacos’ed the hosts by recording 24 assists on 27 made field goals. More impressively, despite the major frontcourt absences they protected the boards, grabbing 33 rebounds – just 1 fewer than Olympiacos.

“When we come out and are focused for 40 minutes, we can compete with anybody,” [Codi Miller-McIntyre](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/codi-miller-mcintyre/009048/), who bagged a double-double of 15 points and 11 boards, told EuroLeague TV. “We’ve shown that multiple times during the season. We had a bad stretch these last few games, but it’s normal, it’s a long season. Many people probably didn’t believe that we could come out and win that game.”

Miller-McIntyre was not the only Zvezda player to step up big. Despite averaging fewer than 5 points per game in less than 15 minutes on the floor this season, [Rokas Giedraitis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/rokas-giedraitis/006436/) exploded for a season-high 20 points, having gone 6-for-7 from deep in a season-high 32:41 minutes. He also recorded 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in one of his finest displays in a Zvezda jersey.

Rokas Giedraitis made 6 threes against Olympiacos

Giedraitis was assisted by an almost-perfect [Dejan Davidovac](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/dejan-davidovac/007960/), who went 4-for-6 from the field and 4-for-4 from the line – all 4 free throws netted in the closing stages. Another player who came to the fore was [Isaiah Canaan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/isaiah-canaan/010612/), who scored 12 second-half points against his former team.

“We played against the best team in Europe so far,” Sfairopoulos said in the post-game press conference. “We had all these problems with the centers. But all the players gave their maximum to cover these absences.”

Three of Zvezda’s last four games, including the next three, are set to be played on home soil. Injury issues may not ease ahead of the upcoming double-round week, but as Miller-McIntyre stressed after that huge win in Greece, a focused Zvezda side can beat anybody.

AS Monaco-Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul | RS Round 30 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague

AS Monaco improved to 18-12 in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season and boosted its hopes of a top-four finish after an impressive 91-82 home win over Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, on the back of a season-high 29 points from pack leader Mike James.

AS Monaco improved to 18-12 in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season and boosted its hopes of a top-four finish after an impressive 91-82 home win over Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, on the back of a season-high 29 points from pack leader Mike James.

Elie Okobo chipped in with 16 points, Daniel Theis racked up 15 points and 7 boards while Jordan Loyd added 13 points for the home team, which prevailed despite losing the battle of the boards 32-41 as it forced 17 turnovers from Fenerbahce.

The visitors, who only managed 12 assists, were paced by Errick McCollum on 24 points, as Marko Guduric netted 15 and Tarik Biberovic scored 10 for the Turkish outfit. The result also means that Fenerbahce dropped to 20-10 and still has work to do to secure an automatic playoff spot.

James hit top gear right from the start, netting 11 first-quarter points as the opening period produced a see-saw battle in which the lead changed hands several times before Fenerbahce nosed ahead 26-28 in a high-scoring start.

In contrast, the second quarter produced a rugged and physical battle with both sides ramping up on defense and making it difficult for each other to get open looks. Still, James hit yet another three and Okobo was outstanding from mid-range as the duo enabled Fenerbahce to lead 47-43 at halftime.

The trend continued in the third as Fenerbahce, driven by the effervescent McCollum, played catchup but Monaco was able to stay ahead in no small part to Theis, whose wealth of experience was everywhere to be seen in his movement and execution of close-range layups. Okobo also sank a pair of tough mid-range jumpers off the dribble, enabling the home team to head into the final 10 minutes 63-58 ahead. 

Monaco pulled away to 67-58 early in the fourth but Fenerbahce refused to lie down and the visiting team was able to close the gap to 76-75 ahead of the home stretch, paving the way for what looked like a dramatic climax in the making. James would have none of that, though, as he sank a pair of clutch triples with Monaco carving out a decisive 85-78 lead in the closing stages.

Fenerbahce fought hard to force a final twist but the writing was on the wall for the Turkish side, which made too many simple mistakes when the chips were down.  

The French side stopped its Turkish rival from sealing a top-six berth with games to spare

Center-less Crvena Zvezda stuns Olympiacos, 73-81

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade put an end to its three-game losing slide by defeating Olympiacos Piraeus 73-81 at Peace and Friendship Stadium on Thursday night. The visitors shared the ball well on offense and looked solid on the other end, leading from start to finish to get back to winning ways. Zvezda improved its record to 17-13, while Olympiacos remains atop the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague table despite dropping to 22-8.

Rokas Giedraitis led all scorers with 20 points, having gone 6-for-7 from deep. Codi Miller-McIntyre recorded a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds, with Dejan Davidovac and Isaiah Canaan scoring 13 and 12 points, respectively. Sasha Vezenkov paced Olympiacos with 19 points and Shaquielle McKissic netted 14.

Davidovac got Zvezda going with a three-pointer and Miller-McIntyre added a floater for a 0-5 lead. Moustapha Fall stepped up with a layup that Nemanja Nedovic erased with a fastbreak basket. Davidovac's wide-open layup saw Olympiacos call timeout at 2-9. Miller-McIntyre followed a driving layup with a bomb from downtown and soon added an acrobatic three-point play that boosted the visitors' lead to 2-17, after a 0-12 run. Saben Lee dunked and Nikola Milutinov gave Olympiacos hope at 6-20. Giedraitis knocked down a triple and John Brown drew a charge as Zvezda regained its composure. Evan Fournier's layup made it 8-20 after 10 minutes.

Alec Peters drained the Reds’ first three of the night with the onset of the second quarter. Baskets by Lee and Fournier got the hosts' offense on track, but Zvezda kept making shots and 2 straight triples by Giedraitis set a 17-31 lead. Olympiacos went on a 7-0 run fueled by Vezenkov, but Zvezda responded with a 0-10 surge inspired by Miller-McIntyre, who made it 24-41. After Giannoulis Larentzakis drained a three, Davidovac took his tally to 9 perfect points for a 27-43 lead at halftime.

Olympiacos opened the third quarter with an 8-0 run with all the points scored by team captain Kostas Papanikolaou. Kalinic netted inside on the other end, but Vezenkov nailed a pair of triples to bring Olympiacos within 43-50. Canaan netted a layup against his former team and Kalinic made 3 from the line for a 46-55 cushion. McKissic and Canaan traded triples before slams from the former and Fall slashed the difference to 55-58 heading into the closing quarter.

Yago Dos Santos netted a three before 5 points by Nedovic and two straight triples from Canaan created a 59-72 gap. Brown and McKissic exchanged buckets. A Vezenkov basket slightly trimmed the deficit to 63-74. McKissic netted a layup in transition and Peters scored 6 straight points to bring Olympiacos within 71-77 with a minute left on the clock.  Nedovic stayed ice-cold from the line to finish the game off.
