ABA League Round 14, Saturday, 5.1.2019:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: There aren’t many teams around here that have a positive head to head score against Partizan NIS. But, Mornar is one of them! The boys from Bar have scored 3 consecutive wins against Partizan NIS in the ABA League and they are coming to Aleksandar Nikolić Hall to try to extend that impressive streak.
And, while this game is quite important for Mornar in their attempt to escape the danger zone, it is also very, very important to Partizan NIS in their race for the Playoffs. The black & whites are just outside the Playoffs zone and their plan is to get among the top 4 teams as soon as possible.
It is also interesting to mention that the games between Partizan NIS and Mornar have always been super exciting. In the first part of the 2018/19 regular season Mornar triumphed by 97:94, while do not be surprised if we witness another ABA thriller on Saturday evening.
Match-up in focus: Đorđe Gagić (Partizan NIS) vs. Uroš Luković (Mornar). These two big guys know each other very well. Gagić has the strength, Luković has the height, while they are both quite dominant in the paint. We are about to see who will win this duel.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 2:3; In Belgrade 1:1.
