It was the sixth win in a row for Crvena Zvezda, all coming after Ivanovic took over the team from Vladimir Jovanovic. It's now tied for the best takeover in EuroLeague history, sharing the record with Zvi Sherf who successfully took over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 2007-08 season to reach the same amount of consecutive victories.

Crvena Zvezda host EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Thursday. With the Italian team mightily struggling recently, there is a decent chance that the Montenegrin coach might hold the new record this week already.

Since Ivanovic took over, Crvena Zvezda have had one of the best defenses in the league, allowing opponents to score just 73.1 points on average.
