Mornar fans have a new reason to celebrate, as their team have scored their second consecutive triumph, which now puts them at a 2-6 record after eight rounds played in this European season. This win keeps them in a race for the second stage of the competition or at least a spot in the next stage of the FIBA Europe Cup.
It has been a fairly one-sided contest all game long, as Mornar were up by 12 points already after the opening quarter and their lead stayed the same, when they have entered the last quarter. The guests have made it an interesting game again in the finish and forced an overtime. However, in the added 5 minutes, the squad, led by Mihailo Pavićević from the bench, have prevailed with the final score of 106:99.
For Mornar, Jacob Pullen had 27 points and Milko Bjelica 17.
