Game recap: Igokea remain in the race for one of the Playoffs spots this season, as they have quickly returned back to the winning track with a convincing home-court display against Karpoš Sokoli. Dragan Bajić's squad have blasted away all dilemmas regarding the final outcome already in the first half and have cruised to the win in the second one. In the end, the guests managed to cut the deficit to single digits, but this was all they could do. This is the 8th win for Igokea in the first 15 rounds of the season, while Karpoš Sokoli continue to share the very bottom of the standings with several other teams, that have also managed to grab four wins so far.

Key moments: Igokea have needed only 16 minutes to emerge as the victors of the 15th round game in Laktaši, as they have grabbed just as many points of advantage by that point. When Nikola Pešaković scored a 3-pointer the score was 39:23 and there were no hopes remaining for the falcons anymore.

Man of the match: Strahinja Mićović was an integral part of Igokea’s success this time around as he led his team towards the victory with 20 points, 3 rebounds and a valuation of 22. He is our man of the match.

Can't trick the stats: Teamwork is the thing that made the difference between the two opponents in Laktaši. While Igosi had 22 assists, Karpoš Sokoli collected only 14. This created a huge difference in the number of easy hoops between the two teams and decided the winner!
