ABA League Round 8, Saturday, 21 November 2020:

SPLIT - MORNAR

Where? Split Sports Hall, Split

When? 17:00

Story of the game: Another basketball festival is coming to Split, a town with astonishing basketball tradition, as one of the most ambitious squads of the ABA League is coming to town to face the yellow squad.

Split will be hosting Mornar and for sure basketball fans will have lot of interesting things to see. Mornar is coming to Dalmatia with five triumphs and only one defeat on their record collected so far. Mornar have been victorious in their last three ABA League appearances and it’s clear that they are aiming high this season and they are only interested in a victory this time around.

On the other side, Split currently have three wins on their record, alongside four defeats, but they have been playing particularly well over the past few rounds, as they have won 2 of their last 4 games, while losing two of them after dramatic game endings. They have demonstrated that they have the necessary capacity to resist the strongest teams of the region.

With a win, Mornar would remain in the battle for the very top of the ABA League standings. On the other side, a win would keep Split in the middle of the standings with a closer look at the teams, that are fighting for an entrance to the Playoffs zone.
Which squad can do it? Watch the game and find out!

Match-up in focus: We’ll have the delight to observe the intriguing clash between brothers in the paint, as Marko Luković of Split will be hosting Uroš Luković of Mornar this time. Even though they are not exactly the same tipe of players, as Uroš likes to be dominant around the rim, while Luković also can pull away from it and shoot from distance, it will be interesting to watch and see which one of them prevails in this clash.

Head to head in the regional league: 0:0.
