ALBA Berlin-FC Barcelona | RS Round 28 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
Sanli and Mirotic – the latter with a bonus free throw – scored inside to give the visitors an early cushion. Ognjen Kuzmic got Zvezda on the scoreboard with a put-back. Sergi Martinez made a three from the corner and Sanli added a jumper for a 3-10 lead. After a basket for Zvezda by Kalinic, Sanli and Martinez buried back-to-back threes for a double-digit lead, 5-16, midway through the quarter. Mitrovic was a focal point on offense for Zvezda and scored on the fastbreak and on the pick-and-roll to make it 13-20 after 10 minutes.
The Zvezda defense stifled Barcelona early in the second quarter, while Maik Zirbes and Mitrovic fueled a 7-0 run to even the score. Hayes-Davis made free throws to end a 4-plus-minute scoring drought for the visitors. Wolters gave Zvezda its first lead, 23-22, with a triple. A Sanli slam put Barcelona back on top, but Zvezda stayed close and Wolters tied it at 27-27 with a floater. A dunk by Smits and free throws by Kyle Kuric gave Barcelona control, though a put-back by Kuzmic kept Zvezda close, 31-34 at halftime.
Nicolas Laprovittola opened the second-half scoring with a triple. Hayes-Davis also hit from deep and Laprovittola made another as the lead grew to 35-43. Kalinic helped keep Zvezda close and his triple made it 44-47. Smits matched him at the other end and Hayes-Davis added a three from almost the same spot. Smits dunked and Hayes-Davis made free throws to restore a double-digit lead, 46-57. Jokubaitis made it 49-61 through three quarters.
The teams traded points in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter and free throws by Mitrovic made it 57-65. The Zvezda defense stiffened up while Dejan Davidovac and Kalinic narrowed the gap to 63-67 with 3 and a half minutes remaining. Barcelona called timeout and Mirotic converted a three-point play off a baseline spin move to give the visitors breathing room. Markovic ignited the crowd with a three that made it 68-71 with just over 2 minutes remaining. After a bad pass by Jokubaitis, Austin Hollins missed a three that would have tied it. Mirotic sank free throws for Barcelona and a triple by Kuric with 30 seconds left all but put the game on ice.
