Revenge time for Partizan or another scalp for Mornar?
In the opener of the Saturday’s ABA League programme, Partizan NIS will be hosting Mornar. With new head coach aboard and after a magnificent win over MZT last round, Partizan NIS are convinced that they can grab another triumph in a row. However, Mornar disagree.

2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 13, Saturday, 23.12.2017:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Belgrade
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Do you remember that big third round game in Bar, when Mornar have made their fans ecstatic by downing Partizan NIS at their home court in Topolica Hall? Well, they will have their chance to repeat the triumph on Saturday night, as they will be the guests of the black and white in Belgrade.
This will however be a different story. Partizan NIS have changed their head coach recently and grabbed a more than convincing triumph over MZT Skopje Aerodrom in the first game under his command. Their focus ahead of Saturday is only one – get the revenge.
The teams have so far met three times in the ABA League, Mornar have celebrated once, but never in Belgrade!
Match-up in focus: It will be a battle of two excellent playmakers that can also score easily. Nigel Williams-Goss meets Derek Needham. When one of the two sides wins this season, usually one of them becomes a game hero. Who will it be this time around?
Head to head in regional league: In total 2:1; In Belgrade 1:0.
