Zvezda lost in Barcelona despite a 44-27 rebounding advantage thanks to a magnificent performance from Luka Mitrovic (22 points, 6 offensive rebounds). The Turkish team will attempt to nullify Zvezda's ability to sniff out offensive rebounds through the power of Georgios Papagiannis, who will expect to improve his season average of 3.1 boards per game. In the backcourt, fans can hope for a feast of creative passing from two of the best to have ever graced European basketball, as in-form Milos Teodosic (5.7 apg.) goes up against all-time assists leader Nick Calathes (3.2 apg), who will travel but missed his team's last game and is a question mark for Wednesday.
