Sutjeska scored their second win in a row in ABA League and the very first one in front of their fans in Nikšić. Carried by a huge support from the stands the home side outplayed Metalac Farmakom and wrote down a new chapter in club"s history.

Game recap: More than 2.500 fans that came to the Hall in Nikšić can consider themselves part of the club"s history. They created a fantastic basketball atmosphere and helped their team score the first ever home win in ABA League. And it was a well-deserved win, because when Sutjeska took over the lead in the middle of the second quarter they remained in front all the way until the end of the match. Metalac Farmakom was unable to respond and they suffered the third defeat in a row.

Key moments: Sutjeska made the crucial margin at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second. Looking it through numbers, they escaped from 40:37 to 53:41 and then successfully managed to keep the lead. On the other side Metalac Farmakom had only one real chance to make this game interesting. The visitors approached to 76:71 and had the ball on 2:20 before the end of the game. But, they made a turnover and every chance for a major comeback simply disappeared.

Man of the match: Radosav Spasojević was the top scorer in the home team with 21 points, but our vote for the man of the match will go to Nemanja Vranješ. Just to remind you that it was Vranješ who brought the win to Sutjeska in the last round in Ljubljana, while he made another brilliant performance today in Nikšić. The starting point guard of Sutjeska scored 18 points and his enormous energy was priceless for the home side.

Can"t trick the stats: Sutjeska had 16 assists, Metalac Farmakom 10, but it was not the decisive factor. This one was much more important - Sutjeska had 8 turnovers, while Metalac Farmakom had 17!
