Just like Fenerbahce, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade also beat a fellow EuroLeague club with a 55-83 win over Panathinaikos OPAP Athens in the MagentaSport Cup in Munich. Zvezda was down most of the first half, but things fell apart in the second half for Panathinaikos, which lost the third quarter 8-32. Nikola Kalinic paced Zvezda with 13 points and Nikola Ivanovic scored 12 in the win. Kendrick Perry and Vassilis Kavvadas were the Greeks’ top scorers with eight points. The game was overshadowed by an injury to Zvezda’s Aaron White late in the third quarter as the American landed awkwardly after a dunk and broke his left forearm. White will need surgery and is expected to miss six weeks.
In the other MagentaSport Cup game, host side FC Bayern Munich pulled away from Virtus Segafredo Bologna in the second half for a 90-66 win. Bayern was up 44-37 at halftime but took over after the break. Darrun Hilliard led the way with 15 points and Vladimir Lucic collected 14 points, 5 assists and 5 steals.
