Two direct rivals in contrasting form meet in Belgrade as Zvezda (11-8) aims for a fourth straight win against a Paris team (11-7) that has lost four in a row.
Game Notes: Zvezda vs. Paris

Zvezda has the head-to-head advantage between the teams under control after winning 77-80 in the French capital in the opening round of the season, and will look to again restrict a Paris offense that has sputtered in recent weeks despite MVP contender TJ Shorts (19 points and 7.4 rebounds) continuing his remarkably consistent season. Zvezda showed great spirit and self-belief to snatch last-gasp road wins from Barcelona and Baskonia in its last two games, and will hope that Isaiah Canaan’s dramatic game-winner last time out will propel the sharpshooter to a return to top form.
