Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet defeated Paris 90-81 in Round 6 of the EuroLeague, and head coach Ibon Navarro spoke to the media after the contest.

It is difficult to even summarize a game like this. Paris attempted 42 shots from beyond the arc in what felt like NBA-style basketball at the Arena, but the red-and-whites somehow managed to contain the French capital side's wild tempo. Butler came up big in the closing stages with four consecutive points and an assist to seal the victory. Following an extraordinary clash with a nerve-wracking finish, Belgrade's head coach Ibon Navarro shared his thoughts.

"It feels bittersweet. At the start of the fourth quarter, we warned the team that this would be a game of runs. They scored 15 points in the opening three minutes. I am happy with the response we showed afterward, but in those moments, we must do a better job of controlling the tempo." - Ibon Navarro

The red-and-whites will play their next EuroLeague fixture on October 22, when they take on Partizan.
