Duke Basketball Overseas -- part 61 of a season long series

6/24/2014

 
On Monday, Red Star Belgrade hosted Game 2 of the finals with DeMarcus Nelson among several players suspended for their roles in the Game 1 brawl.  Partizan Belgrade took the lead early and held off a small second half charge to win 82-62 and even up the series.  Charles Jenkins stepped into DeMarcus's role and had 17 points and 6 rebounds.  In the win, Davis Bertans, the 42nd pick of the Indiana Pacers in 2011 before a draft day trade to the San Antonio Spurs, had 14 points.

On Thursday, DeMarcus Nelson and all the other suspended players returned for Game 3 of the finals, which was played in an empty arena because of fans behavior in Partizan's last home game.  The team led early as they look to take the series lead, but could not keep it and fell 77-67.  DeMarcus had 16 points in 36 minutes.  In the win, ex-NBA player Sasha Pavlovic had 16 points and Joffrey Lauvergne, the 55th pick of the last draft by the Memphis Grizzlies before a draft day trade to the Denver Nuggets, had 11 points and 10 rebounds.

On Friday, Nick Horvath and the Manawatu Jets continued to play out the rest of the season, beating the Taranaki MountainAirs 86-71.  Nick had 7 points and 16 rebounds in 28 minutes.  Paul Jones had 19 points, Arthur Trousdell had 15 points and 6 rebounds, and Brandon Jenkins had 14 points.  Ex-Rice player Suleiman Braimoh had 24 points and 14 rebounds in the loss.

On Saturday, DeMarcus Nelson and Red Star Belgrade tried to extend their season in front of their home fans in Game 4 of the finals.  The game was close throughout, going into overtime, before Partizan Belgrade took the lead for good and won 95-87.  DeMarcus had 14 points and 6 assists in 34 minutes.  Charles Jenkins had 16 points.  In the win, Joffrey Lauvergne had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Sasha Pavlovic had 11 points.  DeMarcus became the first American player to return to Red Star Belgrade for a second season and took a much more active role in the team's offense, impressing the team once again as they competed for multiple trophies, but came up short at the end of the season.  DeMarcus may return to the team for another year, but he has also drawn attention from some of the elite teams around Europe.
