ABA League Round 1, Saturday, 3 October 2020:
BUDUĆNOST VOLI - Split 84:59 (22:18, 22:16, 23:12, 17:13)
Game recap: Budućnost VOLI made a powerful performance at the start of the new season as they defeated Split at home court by 84:59. The Blue troops played as a true team and that is something that will especially please their head coach Petar Mijović. It is enough just to write that every player of Budućnost VOLI scored at least 2 points in this match, while the team have constantly played in high rhythm no matter which 5 players were on the court.
On the other side, Split have showed at some moments that they can be a worthy opponent to the best ABA League clubs, still they will obviously need some time to get used to the high-level competition as ABA League is.
Key moments: Budućnost VOLI had a double-digit lead at the halftime – 44:34, while they definitely sealed the win in the 3rd quarter as they managed to increase the gap to 21 points during that period – 67:46.
Man of the match: Well, this is very difficult to select as Budućnost VOLI had 7 players who had a double-digit index rating at the end of the game. Let’s say that the man of the match today was Budućnost VOLI captain Suad Šehović (12 points, 3/3 FG3, 3/3 FT, INDEX 16) as he spent the least amount of time on court out of all the other home team players who had a double-digit index rating.
Can’t trick the stats: Split missed too many shots this evening. Especially for 3 points. The visitors made just 5 three-pointers out of 25 attempts in this match.
