Baldwin spent just under 13 minutes on the floor, tallying nine points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal.

"I think I managed to show what I knew I was capable of. The key now is staying consistent, taking that next step, remaining patient, and finding my rhythm within this team. It's always important to stay grounded in the present. I had a good game tonight and want to maintain this momentum. As a player, you always want to improve. I'll go over the game film to see what areas I need to work on to keep growing," Patrick Baldwin told Meridian Sport.

Baldwin is steadily adjusting to European basketball.

"At the end of the day, it's still basketball, but with a different style of play. I really like this style. I'm adapting step by step and learning how to maximize my impact on the game. Basketball fans are realizing there's tremendous talent all over the world, and when it comes to player quality, tactics, and teams, the EuroLeague is right at the top—standing shoulder to shoulder with any league or team globally."

Chris Jones secured the victory for Crvena Zvezda with a dramatic buzzer-beater.

"We trust Chris. We've seen him make those shots time and time again, both in practice and in games. Even before joining the team, I knew the kind of player he was and what he could do. When the ball was in his hands, I can't say I was completely certain, but I had immense confidence that he would make the right play."

Crvena Zvezda started the EuroLeague season 0-2, but there was never any panic.

"I don't think there was any pressure. We started 0-2, but we lost two very tight contests and always knew our capabilities. Now we've put together three consecutive wins, we hold a winning record, and we're looking to keep that rhythm going and take another step forward," said Patrick Baldwin.
