In a best-of-five format, Crvena Zvezda will now have to win three games in a row in order to capture the title. Nevertheless, the club's head coach Dusko Ivanovic was confident that his team can turn things around.

"It's 2:0, the series is played until three [wins], now we'll play on our court [in Pionir]. It doesn't change anything for us - neither our feeling nor our ambitions to win the ABA League," he said.

When the coach finished his statement, the press conference was interrupted. According to Basketnews information, a comment from the hall was made by one of the journalists that Crvena Zvezda have already lost the series.

Ivanovic immediately reacted.

"Come on, tell me what you wanted. What happened? Should I leave?" he said. After Partizan's press officer calmed the coach and the entire situation down, the press conference continued. "You have to have respect for me, I'll then have respect for you," the coach said.
