Budućnost now the only undefeated team in the Adriatic league

In the 9th round of the Adriatic League, Crvena Zvezda (Serbia) hosted Budućnost (Montenegro) in a battle between the only two undefeated teams so far.

Budućnost triumphed 67-65 and has now become the only undefeated team in the 2020/21 ABA League regular season. The blue-and-whites prevailed in a thrilling game in Belgrade and now have a 6-0 record overall. On the other side, Crvena Zvezda (aka Red Star) is now 8-1.

Budućnost was struggling offensively in the decisive 4th quarter, but their defense brought them the Belgrade win. The visitors managed to defend their basket in crucial moments late in the 4th quarter and keep their lead until the end.

It is also worth mentioning that Crvena Zvezda scored their last field goal in this game nine-and-a-half minutes before the end of the game! After that, the red-and-whites scored 8 points, all of them from the free-throw line. The home side decided not to make a foul in the game’s final moments, hoping that they might steal the ball; however, that plan did not work out, and Zvezda lost the game.
