2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 6, Friday, 27.10.2017:
MORNAR - Zadar 80:70 (17:21 18:12 21:17 24:20)
Game recap: That game-winning 3-pointer Mornar crew made last weekend has obviously reduced the pressure inside the team, so the boys from Bar played a good match this Friday evening against Zadar and, most importantly, they scored an important home win. The only thing Mornar was not good was 3-point shot - 3/21, but luckily for them Zadar had the exact same problem - 3/22! At the end, Mornar used their chances in the final quarter and they scored a very important home win.
Key moments: On 5 minutes before the end of the match Mornar were up by 64:60, while then the home team made the crucial 7:0 run and escaped to a double-digit margin - 71:60. To be fully precise it was Derek Needham who made that run all by himself, as he firstly scored a 3-pointer, while then he added two 2-pointers. Needham was the top scorer in Mornar this evening with 21 points.
Man of the match: Maybe Derek Needham was the top scorer of the winning team, but Uroš Luković was the MVP today. Mornar big guy had 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks, while his overall index rating was 31!
Can't trick the stats: Mornar have been protecting their basket much better than Zadar... After all, the home team had 7 blocks, while the visitors had just 1.
