Game Notes: Baskonia vs. Zvezda
2023-24
3 Минутное чтение
It's a swift reunion for Zvezda with former coach Dusko Ivanovic, whose transformation of Baskonia's fortunes continued with an 80-79 thriller over Fenerbahce on Wednesday. Markus Howard was the hero, netting 28 points including a game-winning triple with 7 seconds remaining, while big man Maik Kotsar continued his good form with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Zvezda is coming off a hard-fought loss at Valencia and needs big men Joel Bolomboy (12.5 points and 6 rebounds over the last two games) and Luka Mitrovic (11.5 ppg., 5.2 rpg.) to establish an inside presence at Buesa Arena.
