Mornar were defeated by Gaziantep on the road in the last round of the 2019/20 FIBA Champions League regular season – 79:86. Still, considering the fact that Mornar had lost all chances for advancing to the next stage even before the match in Turkey, this defeat won’t hurt them a lot.
Actually, there are some very positive things for Mornar that came out of this game, like very good performance of their latest signings Isaiah Whitehead and Dario Hunt. Whitehead was the top scorer of Mornar in this match with 24 points, while Hunt finished the match with 12 points and 7 rebounds.
Mornar will now fully focus on the race for the ABA League Playoffs, as they are trying to repeat the success from two years ago when they managed to finish the regular season among the top 4.
2019/20 FIBA Champions League Regular Season, Round 14, Group C, Tuesday, 4.2.2020:
