Game recap: Mornar have made another big step toward the 2021 ABA League Playoffs as they defeated Split at home court. The boys from Bar have therefore become the 1st team in the current season to score 17 wins and their current season record is 17-4. On the other side, Split dropped to 5-16 and they will have to work hard in the rest of the season to stay above the 13th place on the standings.

Key moments: Although Mornar have eventually won this game by a double-digit margin, this was far from an easy job for the Bar troops. The home team were up by just 4 points – 73:69, with less than 2 minutes remaining on the game clock. But, that is the moment when Mornar’s players closed all ways toward their basket. As you can see in the final score, Mornar conceded just 2 points in the last 90 seconds of the 4th quarter and that strong defense in key moments brought them the precious win at the end.

Man of the match: Aleksandar Lazić has played his best game of the season as the finished the match with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 24 index rating. Lazić was 3/3 for 2 points and 3/5 for 3 points today.

Can’t trick the stats: Split have made many turnovers in this match, while some of them came in the key moments late in the 4th quarter. The visitors had 20 turnovers today, while on the other side Mornar made just 7.
