Game recap: It could have gone on the either side, but one team simply had to win. It was Partizan NIS this time, who defeated Mornar in a thrilling clash in Bar. Low number of points and many turnovers marked this match, but it is the start of the new season after all and it was obvious that both teams still need time to get into the right rhythm. Anyway, we all witnessed another ABA League thriller which was decided in the last second...

Key moments: Partizan NIS were in the lead by 58:57, while Mornar had the final ball possesion. Lamont Jones was waiting for the last seconds to play 1-on-1 with Adin Vrabac, he even managed to get past the defender, but he missed the lay-up... The ball went out of bounds and Partizan NIS stayed in front.

Man of the match: Vanja Marinković had the highest index rating today in the winning side, but we would dare to write that Branislav Ratkovica was the key player of Partizan NIS. Experienced point guard entered the court in the second half and made plenty of good things for his team.  

You can't trick the stats: Mornar might have lost this match because of their free throws. In a match with low number of points they simply had to be more precise from the line. Mornar had 19 free throws attempts... They made only 9.
