ABA League, 2nd round, Monday, 5.10.2015:
IGOKEA - Union Olimpija 72:63
Game recap: Union Olimpija did not manage to join Cedevita and Crvena zvezda Telekom at the top of the standings after two rounds played, since the Dragons lost to Igokea in Laktaši. The home side achieved their first win of the season and escaped the very bottom of the standings. Laktaši therefore stay cursed for Union Olimpija, which is still waiting for its first win in this arena.
Key moments: Union Olimpija was up by six points with 8 minutes remaining in the game and everything seemed to go their way but… an 8:0 run by Igokea followed over the next 4 minutes, during which Vuk Radivojević scored 6 points and contributed an assist for the remaining two points. Igokea was up by two and that's when Radivojević received a foul. When some thought that this might help Olimpija to turn the game in their favour once again, the Dragons only scored 3 more points until the end of the game and allowed 10 to Igokea. The game was decided.
Man of the match: Without any doubt, Igokea top scorer Vuk Radivojević was the hero of the game, having scored 20 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and dished out 4 assists. He was also the man who led the way for Igosi on their way to turn the game around by contributing 6 points and an assist for crucial 8:0 run by Igokea between 32nd and 36th minute.
Can't trick the stats: Poor field goal shooting percentage was the ultimate thing, that left Union Olimpija empty-handed at the end of the game. The Dragons only had 38% from the field, even though their 3-point shot wasn't truly poor (36%).
