ABA League, Round 3, Friday, 7.10.2016:
MORNAR - Karpoš Sokoli 83:59 (24:10, 18:22, 14:19, 27:8)
Game recap: History has been written! After two unlucky defeats in the opening two rounds of the new season, Mornar finally managed to score their 1st ever triumph in ABA League. In the clash of two newcomers, Mornar were much better than Karpoš Sokoli in the 1st and in the 4th quarter and that was enough for a convincing win. On the other side, Karpoš Sokoli are still waiting for their 1st win in the regional competition.
Key moments: Despite being down by 14 points already after the opening quarter, Karpoš Sokoli managed to reduce the margin to just 5 points before the last period - 56:51. However, that is the moment when they simply ran out of breath in the chase for their rivals. Mornar dominated the 4th quarter, which they won by 27:8 and crushed all hopes of the visitors.
Man of the match: Cole Dickerson played one more good match for Mornar. American power forward finished the game with 19 points and 8 rebounds.
Can't trick the stats: The visitors had a lot of troubles to score 3pts shots today. They had 24 attempts, while only 3 of them went through the basket. With that percentage (12%), you just can't win a game.
