POST-MATCH COMMENTS

Game recap: Perhaps there were not many people who believed that Budućnost VOLI would be able to defeat Cedevita away in the 1st round of the new ABA League season, but be absolutely sure that the boys in blue and white jerseys did believe in this outcome. The squad from Podgorica bravely confronted their hosts and managed to score a huge win at the start of the season.

Key moments: The away team played a great last quarter in which they scored 29 points, including several crucial three-pointers which pushed them in front. Eventually, Budućnost VOLI rejected all attempts of Cedevita for making a comeback and completed a break in Dom sportova, Zagreb.

Man of the match: It is difficult to decide between Nemanja Vranješ and Marcus Williams. Vranješ scored 22 points and had the overall index rating of 25, so he should pick up the MVP award. Still, it is important to mention that Williams was perfectly organizing the plays of Budućnost VOLI and he collected 10 assists along the way.

It is also fair to point out amazing performance of Cedevita point guard David Stockton who scored 26 points and had the overall index rating of 28.

Can't trick the stats: Cedevita had just terrible shooting percentage this evening. They were at 32% for 2pts and at 36% for 3pts. One of their best players from the preseason Scotty Hopson had 0/10 this time...
