ABA League 26th round, Monday, 7.3.2016:
ZADAR - Sutjeska 85:83 (16:19, 25:24, 25:12, 19:28)
Game recap: A dramatic game in Zadar for the end of the ABA League season ended with a close victory for the home Dalmatian side, which does not only mean the nice way to finish the regional league season for Ante Nazor"s squad, but also means that Sutjeska have lost the right to participate in the regional competition next season, since they will take the final 13th place of the standings.
Key moments: It has been anybody"s game literally to the final seconds of the game, but Sutjeska had everything in their hands to at least force an overtime. With a few seconds left and the score 85:82, Nemanja Vranješ has drawn a foul, but afterwards scored only one free throw. Đoko šalić grabbed an offensive rebound after his missed shot, tried to score for 2 points to take the game into the extra five minutes of the game, but eventually failed…
Man of the match: Glenn Cosey was the man who led Zadar towards the victory this time. He ended the game with 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist and is selected to be our man of the match.
Can"t trick the stats: Of course there is not much difference between the stats of two teams. However, perhaps the fact that Sutjeska missed no less than 9 free throws (18:27), was decisive.
