This marked Monaco’s first EuroLeague win of the season, while Red Star’s record dropped to 1-2.
Among James’ 11 assists was a crucial play where he passed to Alpha Diallo, who nailed a three-pointer, extending the lead to 72–79 with just 54 seconds left.
The win was further secured by Donatas Motiejunas, who scored in a fast break, bringing the score to 74–81 after Zvezda had cut the margin to five.
“They [Zvezda] are very good at home running and make easy baskets,” James said. “Not turning the ball over helped us a lot.”
