ABA League 20th round, Monday, 30.1.2017:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Sports Hall, Belgrade
When? 18:00
Story of the game: What to write about Crvena zvezda mts that do not know already? The red & white crew from Belgrade have 19 wins in a row in ABA League, while on top of that they have 7 wins in a row in Euroleague! That makes them the team No. 1 in the entire Europe when it comes to the current form. Anyway, they are not planning to stop, so Crvena zvezda mts will definitely confront Mornar with full power in order to extend their winning streak.
On the other side, Mornar are coming to Belgrade in high spirits after they triumphed in the local derby against Budućnost VOLI last weekend. The squad from Bar still haven't escaped the danger zone on the standings, so a win in this match would mean so much to them in the race for the ABA League survival. We are about to see if Mornar will manage to pull off a major upset on Monday evening.
Match-up in focus: Branko Lazić (Crvena zvezda mts) is perhaps the best defensive player in the league and this time he will have a task to keep an eye on Marko Mugoša (Mornar) who has been on fire in the last couple of rounds.
Head to head in regional league: In total 1:0; In Belgrade 0:0.
