D’Tigers forward Jordan Nwora scored 15 points to inspire Crvena Zvezda to a commanding 91–74 victory over Slovenian side Društvo Ilirija in their ABA League clash at Tivoli Hall, Ljubljana.
Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) asserted their dominance by outscoring the hosts in three of the four quarters, pulling clear to seal a comfortable 17-point win.
Nwora led the scoring with 15 points, six rebounds, and two assists. He was well supported by Ognjen Dobrić and Devonte Graham, who contributed 12 points each, while Chima Moneke and Donatas Motiejūnas added 11 points apiece.
The victory marked Crvena Zvezda’s fifth consecutive win in the ABA League and their third straight triumph across all competitions, following Friday’s impressive 87–65 EuroLeague win over Anadolu Efes.
