Crvena Zvezda Top Olympiacos in preseason action

Crvena Zvezda

More preseason games are being played as professional basketball teams are getting ready for the upcoming 2019-20 season. Crvena Zvezda got a nice feather in its cap recently after downing Olympiacos Piraeus 82-77 in Athens on Tuesday.

Both clubs are warming up and fine-tuning their strategies. Red Star got off on the right foot with this win over a high-profile opponent, on Greek soil no less.

The Belgrade team was able to smoothly remain in control of the game early and was able to load up a 41-36 lead at the halftime break. Despite, Olympiacos’ strong efforts, the Serbians were able to hold steady and retain that five-point lead until the final whistle.

Derrick Brown was able to turn in a solid performance with 17 points, while Stratos Perperoglu added 13 points of his own.

There are two more games slated to be played out by Crvena Zvezda while in Greece. They will face off against Peristeri GS on Thursday and on Friday will get a rematch with Olympiacos.

Expect more exciting preseason action as the 2019-20 tipoff nears.
