This is the ninth win of the season for the Belgrade’s black and white squad, which have therefore strengthened their position in the middle of the ABA League standings. On the other side, Mega Soccerbet are now on a 14:9 record, which means that their chances of reaching the ABA League Playoffs might not be realistic anymore.
