Game recap: This night in Bar it was defense that prevailed over offense! Partizan NIS let Mornar score just 65 points in their own gym and the black & whites seized a very valuable road win. Partizan NIS have therefore returned on the winning path and they now have the same overall score as Mornar. At the same time, this was the very first defeat for the Bar troops in the ongoing ABA season.

Key moments: In the middle of the 4^th quarter Partizan NIS were up by 65:60, while in the following three minutes the visitors made the crucial 11:1 run which took them to a safe distance – 76:61. Ognjen Jarmaz was especially good in those moments as he made several steals and therefore prevented Mornar of reducing the gap.

Man of the match: This reward definitely belongs to Partizan NIS guard Ognjen Jaramaz. His energy was pushing the whole team toward the win, while he was also the team’s top scorer with 17 points.

Can’t trick the stats: Remember last round when Mornar scored 17 three-pointers in a single match? Well, this evening they made just 4 out of 23 attempts. Simply, the defense played by Partizan NIS crew was better that Mornar’s offense.
