The visitors have had the lead throughout the whole game, while they managed to stay in front in a thrilling ending in which Zvezda had two chances to tie the score.

This was the first away win for Zadar against Zvezda mts since 2010. Zadar entered the last quarter with a 9-point lead, but the hosts managed to reduce the deficit to one point (91-92).

With less than one minute on the game clock, Crvena Zvezda mts had one more chance to tie the score, but Nemanja Nedovic's 3-point attempt missed the mark, and Zadar went on to win this thrilling clash.

Marko Ramljak put up 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists for the winning side. His overall index rating was 29.

On the other side, a double-double from Luca Vildoza, who had 16 points and 11 assists, wasn't enough for Red Star. Ben Bentil added 19 points and 8 rebounds.

With that result, Partizan remained the only unbeaten (6-0) team in the ABA league.
