NLB ABA League 2 Round 11, Monday, 21 March 2022:
PELISTER-BITOLA - Vrijednosnice Osijek 97:78 (19:24, 26:18, 30:15, 22:21)
In the opening game of the Široki Brijeg Regular Season Tournament, Pelister-Bitola have prevailed over Vrijednosnice Osijek.
The side of North Macedonia did not start the game just the way they have desired, being down by 5 points after the opening quarter, but they have fought back in the second one and turned the game completely upside-down already. They were up by 3 points at halftime (45:42). Just as one might think that it would be a close game in the second half, Pelister-Bitola pushed further, won the third quarter alone by 15 points (30:15) and then cruised towards the win in the end with the score of 97:78.
This is the third win of the season for Pelister-Bitola, which now puts them on the 12th place with a 3:8 record. On the other side, Vrijednosnice Osijek remain at the very bottom of the standings with 1:10 record after 11 rounds.
