ABA League 18th round, Sunday, 3.1.2016:
Igokea - MZT SKOPJE AERODROM 70:86 (16:31, 16:12, 21:20, 17:23)
Game recap: MZT Skopje Aerodrom confirmed again that they have the ambitions and the quality for reaching the final at least fifth place in the standings this season, with a victory in a difficult away court in Laktaši against Igokea. For Aleksandar Jončevski and his players, this is the fourth victory in the past five games, out of which they have lost only to Mega Leks, with a game winning three pointer last round in Skopje. On the other side, Igokea stay near the bottom in the battle to avoid the relegation, as they are still only a win away from the last placed Sutjeska. They have lost their seventh game over the period of last eight games.
Key moments: The game was more or less decided in the opening period of 10 minutes, as MZT Skopje Aerodrom have made a 30:7 run between 3rd and 10th minute and held a 15-point lead at the first break. It provided a psychological shock for the home side which did not manage to recover fully until the end of the game.
Man of the match: Đorđe Drenovac! The curse of former player hit Igokea this time as hard as it gets, as the player scored 27 points (7/13 from the perimeter), scored four rebounds, stole 2 balls and blocked just as many shots. He achieved the valuation of 27 and is our man of the match.
Can"t trick the stats: MZT Skopje Aerodrom had an unusual 2 vs. 3-point shot ratio as they shot more often from behind the arc (36 times) than for 2 points (31 times), but it was worth it, as their 3-point shooting percentage was unbelievable for this number of shots (44%!). 16 scored three pointers have decided the game in their favour this time.
