Grieving Red Star win as Real Madrid stutter

               Red Star Belgrade boosted their hopes of reaching the Euroleague Top 16 with a 79-62 home win over Neptunas Klaipeda in a sombre atmosphere on Thursday as the Serbian club mourned last week's death of a supporter killed in fan violence in Istanbul.

Eight-time winners Real Madrid were stunned 85-75 at home by Unics Kazan, holders Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered an 84-61 home drubbing by CSKA Moscow and Olympiakos Piraeus lost their unbeaten record in an 89-70 defeat at Kutxa Laboral.

The round seven games started with a minute's silence for Red Star's 25-year old fan Marko Ivkovic, who was stabbed to death when rival supporters clashed before last Friday's match with Galatasaray.
