POST-GAME COMMENTS

Game recap: Mega Soccerbet have scored their 5th win in the 2020/21 ABA League regular season as they prevailed over Krka in a match in Belgrade.

With their best player Filip Petrušev out for this match, the Belgrade side had some problems on both ends of the court, but still they managed to prevail over very good Krka team after a very exciting ending. What is interesting to mention about this game ending is that Mega Soccerbet managed to keep the ball in the final 10 seconds of the game and to prevent Krka's players to make a foul. And you will most definitely want to see the dribbling made by Jovan Novak in those last 10 seconds.

Mega Soccerbet now have the overall score of 5-2, while Krka are at 1-6.

Key moments: Dayshon Scoochie Smith scored the key 2-pointer on two-and-a-half minutes before the end to put Mega Soccerbet in front – 70:68. After that both sides failed to score any points in the next two minutes, while then Mega Soccerbet secured their win with one made free throw and that last-ten-seconds sequence in which they managed to keep the ball in their possession.

Man of the match: With his partner from the paint Filip Petrušev sidelined, Marko Simonović took over the leader’s role in Mega Soccerbet team and he finished the match with 17 points and 7 rebounds. He had the highest index rating in the winning team (17).

Can’t trick the stats: The two sides were very close in every game element, still the thing that Krka scored just two points in the final two-and-a-half minutes eventually cost them a win.
