Igokea prevailed over Mornar and scored their 3rd consecutive win in ABA League. The visitors missed a big chance to make a stunning comeback in the last quarter...
ABA League Regular Season, Round 12, Saturday, 3.12.2016:
IGOKEA - Mornar 74:69 (20:17, 19:11, 21:21, 14:20)
Game recap: They are not stopping! Igokea are still enjoying their winning streak in ABA League, as they defeated Mornar in Laktaši. The home side have been in front from the beginning to the very end of the match. Every time Mornar would feel that they might make a comeback, Igokea would score some important shots or play a good defense and quickly return to the safe distance. Still, it was very interesting in last quarter...
Key moments: It looked that Igokea would easily win this match after they entered the final quarter with +11 - 60:49. However, then Mornar started making some important shots, while on the other side Igokea could not find a solution for the rival's defense... On 4 minutes before the end Igokea were in front by just a single point - 64:63! Mornar even had several chances to take the lead, but after Tay Waller and Alexander Tatum missed their shots, the visitors got punished. Vuk Radivojević dropped two three-pointers in a row for Igokea for 70:63 and Igokea rejected the final attempt of Mornar to get in front.
Man of the match: Although he did not have the highest index rating in his team, Vuka Radivojević was definite the match-winner. He scored the two crucial 3pts shots and therefore deserved the MVP award.
Can't trick the stats: Igokea had 6 more assists than Mornar, while it was obvious that the squad from Bar needed more team-play in the final moments. They had a chance to take the lead, but they ruined it with several 1-on-1 attacks.
