Zalgiris Kaunas beat Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade 83–77 behind Marek Blazevic's 5
Andrej Bjelic's playmaking edge meets Marek Blazevic's scoring punch in tonight's EuroLeague battle between Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade and Zalgiris Kaunas. Bjelic carries a 49.8 TIB Efficiency rating into the matchup, averaging 15 points and 4.2 assists per game last season. His ability to run the offense while staying productive on both ends has been central to Belgrade's approach. Blazevic, by contrast, leans heavily into volume scoring—15.6 PPG with a 45.6 TIB mark—but operates in a tighter assist role (1.4 APG), making him a pure offensive focal point for Kaunas. The distinction matters: Bjelic's game flows through creation; Blazevic's through direct shot-making. How each adapts to the other's defensive pressure will shape the tempo and spacing both teams rely on. Tip-off in three hours. Watch it live.
