Baskonia brush aside Crvena Zvezda 87-67

Falling behind early - trailing by 21 at half-time - and unable to deal with the towering Youssoupha Fall, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade crashed to an 87-67 defeat at Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on Friday.

The 2 metre 23 cm Senegalese centre hit a Euroleague career-high 20 points as the Spanish side won their fourth successive game to stay on the fringes of the playoff places.

By contrast, the Serbs have now lost six in a row to fall to 7-19.

They have dropped seven of their last eight road games.
