Game recap: Crvena zvezda mts have sealed the 1st place in the 2018/19 ABA League regular season by beating Mornar on the road this Saturday evening. The red & whites can now use the remaining 3 rounds in the regular season to prepare themselves for the 2019 ABA Playoffs, in which they will have a home court advantage in each series they will play in. 

Key moments: The visitors dominated the court from the beginning to the very end. It is enough just to write that Zvezda have had the lead throughout the whole match, while they were up by 35 points and the end of the 3rd quarter. Mornar simply had no chance this evening.

Man of the match: The fans of Crvena zvezda mts certainly got scared when they saw Billy Baron leave the court in the 2nd quarter due to injury. Luckily, Baron just received a minor hit in the head and he returned on court in the 3rd quarter to lead his team toward the win with 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. At the end, he was the top scorer in the winning side.

Can’t trick the stats: Crvena zvezda mts had 42 rebounds, Mornar had 22! And take a look at this – Zvezda had more offensive rebounds (16) than Mornar had defensive ones (11).
