ABA League 3rd round, Wednesday, 7.10.2015:
Metalac Farmakom - IGOKEA 56:74 (5:17, 24:25, 15:17, 12:15)

Game recap: From the very start it was clear that Igokea was in much better game shape. The visitors opened the match with 13:0 run, while Metalac Farmakom waited 7 and a half minutes to score the first basket! The margin kept growing all the way until it was +22 for the guests - 39:17! Metalac Farmakom tried to reduce the deficit until the half-time and they did approach to 39:29, but Aleksandar Ćapin scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer - 42:29 - and raised the morale of Igokea crew before the big break.

It was a very important detail, because away side opened the second half with 7:2 run and regained the huge lead. It is enough to write that the margin remained with double-digits all the way until the end of the game.

Key moments: Definitely the first one was that three-pointer of Aleksandar Ćapin for 42:29 just before the half-time, while the second came in the fourth quarter when Metalac Farmakom reduced the deficit to 59:47. At that moment, Nemanja Todorović made a three-pointer in the dying seconds of the attacking play for 62:47, while then Miloš Dimić scored 4 points in a row for 66:47.

Man of the match: Miloš Komatina played almost a perfect game. We wrote "almost” only because he missed only one 2pts and one 3pts attempt… His overall stats were simply impressive 22 points (5/6 for 2pts, 2/3 for 3pts, 2/2 FT) and 6 rebounds!

Can"t trick the stats: Basketball is a team play and Igokea showed that to Metalac Farmakom in this game. The visitors had 21 assists in total, while the home side only 12.
