Red Star's basketball team nearly pulled off a historic comeback in the first semi-final ABA League match against Partizan, closing a twenty-point lead in the final quarter. At one point, Red Star was down by twenty points, but a strong push brought them back into contention.
Red Star found themselves down by just one possession when Karl Towns executed two strong free throws, narrowing the gap to a three-point deficit.
However, a crucial error by Jordan Nwora, who was Red Star's standout player with 31 points, two rebounds, and two assists, but also three lost balls, ultimately sealed the defeat. His error led to points for Devyn Marble, which ended Red Star's chances of a comeback.
The next match is scheduled for Thursday at the Aleksandar Nikolić Hall in front of Red Star's fans. If there is a decisive game, it will be played on Monday at the Arena, again in front of the crowd.
This match was a rollercoaster! Can you imagine the pressure on Nwora at that moment? Red Star needs to nail those crucial plays if they want to turn things around in the next game! What do you think about their chances?
