ABA 2 newcomers Podgorica will definitely be satisfied after the first tournament of the 2020/21 ABA League 2 championship as they finished this part of the season with the overall score of 3-1. In their last game in this stage, Podgorica defeated their local rivals Lovćen 1947 in a very exciting match.

There are two players from the winning team who deserve the MVP of the match award. The first one is Mikaile Tmušić who was the game top scorer with 27 points, while the second one is his 21-year-old teammate Marko Kovačević who finished this match with 24 points.
On the other side, Roddy Peters was the best player in Lovćen 1947 as he made 24 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists tonight, however that was not enough for the Cetinje squad to take the win.
