However Red Star stayed strong and soon tied the game from the line.

Bailey pulled up from behind the arc to make it 34-33. After 2 Bjelica free throws, Damir Miljkovic fed Turek for a powerful two-handed slam that ignited the crowd shortly before the break and allowed the hosts to take a 36-35 lead into the locker room.

Miljkovic, Drobnjak and Alex Harris all hit from the line to narrow the gap to 56-64 at the end of the third period.

Stimac added free throws to make it 58-72 and take the bite out of the hosts.
