Crvena Zvezda edged Dubai 95-92 in Round 25 of the EuroLeague for a fourth straight win, improving to 15-10. Jordan Nwora led with 22, Ebuka Izundu posted 18 points and eight rebounds, and Jared Butler plus Codi Miller-McIntyre had 16 apiece.
It was a night of swings in Belgrade: the hosts opened with a “dream quarter,” racing to a 20-point lead at 34-14 after 10 minutes. Dubai flipped the script in the second quarter with improved defense, pulling within 44-41 by halftime and setting up a tense second half.
The decisive stretch came when Butler caught fire, hitting three consecutive threes to push Zvezda back into a double-digit cushion. Dubai kept fighting behind Mfiondu Kabengele (24), Dwayne Bacon (19) and McKinley Wright (16), but could only soften the finish with Kabengele’s half-court make at the buzzer. Next: Zvezda hosts Hapoel Tel Aviv; Dubai hosts Olympiacos.
