The contest, which saw neither team able to establish control in regulation time, culminated in an extra period filled with clutch plays and defensive intensity that kept the crowd on edge until the final buzzer.
The game's trajectory was defined by its competitive nature from the opening tip.

Both teams traded blows throughout regulation, with the score knotted at 75-75 after four quarters, setting the stage for the decisive overtime period.
Will Clyburn delivered a masterclass in clutch performance for Barcelona, recording 18 points despite shooting struggles from beyond the arc. His true value emerged at the charity stripe, where he converted 9 of 12 free throw attempts, including several crucial makes in overtime. Clyburn's efficiency rating of 14 reflected his all-around contribution, complemented by two assists and two steals, though his three turnovers highlighted the pressure both teams applied throughout the contest.
Jan Vesely provided the interior presence Barcelona needed, dominating the paint with 14 points on an impressive 7-of-10 shooting from two-point range. The Czech Republic international's 22 efficiency rating led all Barcelona players, as he added seven rebounds and two assists while showcasing excellent defensive awareness with two steals. Vesely's ability to finish around the basket proved crucial in breaking down Crvena Zvezda's defensive schemes.
Tomas Satoransky orchestrated Barcelona's offense with precision, dishing out six assists while adding 12 points of his own. His perfect shooting night from three-point range (2-of-2) stretched the floor at critical moments, and his eight rebounds demonstrated his willingness to contribute across all facets of the game. Satoransky's two steals in 35 minutes of action proved instrumental in Barcelona's ability to generate transition opportunities.
Jordan Nwora produced a spectacular performance for the visitors, leading all scorers with 26 points while shooting 4-of-10 from three-point range. His nine rebounds and team-high 24 efficiency rating showcased his versatility, as he continuously found ways to attack Barcelona's defense.

Codi Miller-McIntyre orchestrated the Crvena Zvezda offense admirably, recording a double-digit scoring performance with 13 points alongside seven assists. His court vision was evident throughout his 39 minutes of play, though his four turnovers and struggles from three-point range (1-of-5) represented areas where Barcelona's defense found success. Miller-McIntyre's one block demonstrated his defensive versatility, adding an unexpected dimension to his game.
Jared Butler provided significant offensive firepower off the bench with 11 points, though his 0-of-7 performance from three-point range highlighted the perimeter defense Barcelona employed. Butler's perfect 5-of-5 showing from the free-throw line kept Crvena Zvezda within striking distance, and his three assists in limited minutes demonstrated his playmaking ability when called upon.
Barcelona's bench received valuable minutes from Joel Parra, who contributed 13 points on efficient 5-of-7 shooting.

The overtime period saw Barcelona outscore their visitors 17-13, with clutch free-throw shooting and timely defensive stops proving decisive. Barcelona converted crucial possessions down the stretch, while Crvena Zvezda's three-point shooting woes (0-of-3 in overtime) prevented them from mounting a successful comeback. The home team's ability to control the tempo and execute in pressure situations ultimately separated the two sides.
The victory improves Barcelona's position in the EuroLeague standings, while Crvena Zvezda's valiant effort fell just short despite their competitive performance throughout regulation.
