ABA League Playoffs, Semi-Finals, Game 2, Tuesday, 28.3.2017:

BUDUĆNOST VOLI - CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS

Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica

When? 20:00

Story of the game: Tuesday night is reserved for basketball spectacle in Podgorica. Budućnost VOLI will host Crvena zvezda mts in Game 2 of the ABA League Semi-Finals and the home team will try to level the score in this series. On the other side, Crvena zvezda mts triumphed in Game 1 in Belgrade and they now have the first match point to qualify for the finals.

Many important things have happened since the previous clash. Budućnost VOLI decided to part ways with their starting point guard Marcus Williams in the key moment of the season! How will this decision affect the rest of the team? That is something we are going to see on Tuesday evening. Anyway, Budućnost VOLI had more than a week to prepare themselves for this match, so be quite sure that the Blue team will be well motivated to show their true face in Game 2.

Crvena zvezda mts have had a tough week. They played two Euroleague games and suffered two defeats, which was definitely not good for the atmosphere in the locker room. But, if we have learnt anything about this team so far in this season, it is the fact that the red & white squad are able to quickly bounce back on their feet after passing through a difficult period. Crvena zvezda mts will want to show a proper reaction and they will want to finish this series already in Podgorica.

Match-up in focus: Now when Marcus Williams is no longer in the team, many things in Budućnost VOLI will depend on Nemanja Gordić. He is definitely capable of making many good things for the team, but he will firstly have to deal with one of the best defenders in the league - Charles Jenkins of Crvena zvezda mts.

Head to head in the regional league: In Podgorica 10:3; In total 11:16.
