CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS - Mornar 82:71 (9:23, 27:20, 21:13, 25:15)
Game recap: Crvena zvezda mts have extended their fantastic streak in ABA League after defeating Mornar in Belgrade. It was the 20th win in a row for the red & white crew, but it was also the most difficult one in this ABA League season. Still, despite playing without 3 key players (Gudurić, Jović and Kuzmić) and despite being down by 14 points in the 3rd quarter, the home side managed to get back to this game and to score another win in the regular season.
Key moments: Mornar opened the match in the best possible way as they were up by 14 after the 1st quarter - 23:9, while they were on the same distance from Crvena zvezda mts in the middle of the 3rd quarter - 52:38. However, that is when the visitors simply ran out of strength and the home team started melting the margin. Crvena zvezda mts have taken over the lead already until the end of the 3rd quarter - 57:56, while eventually they even won this match by a double-digit margin.
Man of the match: Two players deserve this award today. Charles Jenkins finished the match with 12 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, while Luka Mitrović had 4 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists.
Can't trick the stats: Crvena zvezda mts had 15 more rebounds than Mornar, while they also made 20 more free-throws than the visitors in this game.
