The ABA League sie of Bar have lost the first game of the Round of 16 series of the FIBA Europe Cup by 13 points and they needed to win higher than this in the second leg game, at home in Topolica Sports Hall. The mission seemed tough, but not impossible for Mihailo Pavićević and his squad.
They have demonstrated that they are fully serious already in the opening quarter, when they have gone off to a double-digit lead (24:14). They still led by 10 points at the big break, but they have composed a true rhapsody in the third quarter, which they have won by 14 points and led with the score of 73:49 with 10 minutes left to go.
In the final quarter, they managed to stick to their advantage and celebrated a 90:63 win. Nemanja Vranješ led the way in scoring for Mornar with 29 points, while Derek Needham scored 24.
In the Quarter-finals Mornar will meet Donar of Groningen.
