2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 11, Sunday, 10.12.2017:
MZT Skopje Aerodrom – MORNAR 69:72 (19:13, 19:18, 25:17, 6:24)
Game recap: After a major comeback, Mornar are celebrating their fifth win of the season and they did it on the road, playing against MZT Skopje Aerodrom. In the final minute, they have finally finished the comeback and put the hosts in a truly difficult position, as they found themselves alone at the bottom of the standings with 2 wins less than competition at the end of the first half of the season. Željko Lukajić has debuted on the MZT bench, but this did not help push his team to victory.
Key moments: With nine minutes left in the game, the home side still had 14 points of advantage (64:50), but then, step by step, the guests started melting their lead until the final score of 72:69, which was set by Derek Needham with 15 seconds on the game clock.
Man of the match: Derek Needham again! Not only was he the one to put down the decisive shot for the victory of his team, but he also led them in scoring with 24 points, while adding 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds to his stats, which was enough for the valuation of 16. He is our man of the match!
Can't trick the stats: Of course, there hasn’t been much difference between the two sides in stats, as they both have had the chance to win until the final seconds.
