Moneke's Crazy Two Minutes for Zvezda's Sweet Dreams

You followed the Baskonia – Crvena zvezda Meridianbet match live on Sportal.

Vitoria witnessed it all. Both teams held significant leads, Bolomboy raged at the referees, Diakite caused a spectacle, breaking everything in the arena, and in the end, the duel was decided after a memorable drama.

Butler sank a crazy three-pointer to force overtime, and after a thriller in the extra period, Zvezda left Vitoria with two points in their pocket. One wonders if it would have been so without Chima Moneke and his dream overtime performance.

It's hard to describe everything that happened in Vitoria in just a few words. Tension, drama, a thriller, a rollercoaster of emotions, and in the end, Zvezda emerged victorious.

And, just when everyone seemed exhausted and it felt impossible to find a good offensive position, Chima Moneke appeared. After nearly 30 minutes played in regulation, Chima found the strength in crucial moments; otherwise, all the visitors' efforts would have been in vain.

He scored the first points for the red-and-whites in overtime, then two more, responding to Baskonia's lead and the momentum that had shifted to the Spaniards' side, followed by a wild three-pointer. On top of all that, Chima managed to sink a free throw despite battling cramps, and then on the very next possession, played solid defense on Luwawu-Cabarrot, setting up a good position for his team heading into the final minute of the game.

Then Semi Ojeleye, for what felt like the umpteenth time this season, hit a decisive three-pointer, and after another defended possession and Semi's additional points, it was clear that Zvezda would take the points from Vitoria.

There were multiple heroes in this victory, but when the going got tough – Chima Moneke ensured, in just two minutes, that all the visitors' hard work did not go unrewarded.
