POST-GAME COMMENTS

Game recap: Partizan NIS scored their 15th win in the 2021/22 Admiralbet ABA League regular season as they beat Borac in Belgrade in Round 19.

The black-and-whites did have the lead for most of the game, however they had to work hard until the very end in order to repel all comeback attempts of persistent Borac troops. The visiting side managed to reduce the gap to just 4 points – 62:58, with less than 5 minutes remaining on the game clock, but Partizan NIS then responded by making the key 9:2 run to regain a double-digit lead – 71:60.

Partizan NIS now have the overall score of 15-3, while Borac are at 6:11.

Key moments: Three players made the difference this evening and those three are Aleksa Avramović, Zach LeDay and Mathias Lessort. And this Partizan NIS trio scored all 9 points in that key 9:2 run that the home side made late in the 4^th quarter. Lessort opened that run with 4 consecutive points – 66:58, then Avramović made his 4^th three-pointer this night for 69:60, while Leday finished this run by making a lay-up for 71:60.

Man of the match: Aleksa Avramović made an impressive performance tonight as he recorded his AdmiralBet ABA League career-high 20 points and his AdmiralBet ABA League career-high index rating of 26.

Can’t trick the stats: Borac made too many turnovers this evening. The visiting side lost the ball 18 times, which is just too many times for a game against a strong team such Partizan NIS is.
