Game recap: Mornar-Barsko zlato have prevailed over Mega Mozzart on the road in the game in which we all witnessed an unbelievable performance by Vladimir Mihailović.

Mihailović scored 46 points today to lead Mornar-Barsko zlato toward the win and that is the new all-time league record for the most points made in a single game by one player! Mihailović broke the record of Milan Gurović who scored 45 points back in 2006 in the match between FMP and Crvena zvezda.

Mornar-Barsko zlato has therefore tied with Mega Mozzart in number of wins in this season as both sides have so far triumphed 8 times.

Key moments: Mornar-Barsko zlato gained the key lead already in the opening quarter which they won by 27:10! The visitors made an incredible 22:0 run in this period. Mega Mozzart tried to melt this gap later on during the game, but every time they would come close to a single-digit margin, Vladimir Mihailović would respond with some big points to keep Mornar-Barsko zlato at a safe distance. 

Man of the match: Of course, that is Vladimir Mihailović. He finished this match with 46 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and with the overall index rating of 50! We have already mentioned that he set the new all-time record in scoring, while we should also say that Mihailović has become only the 9^th player in league history to record 50+ index rating in a single game.

Can’t trick the stats: Mega Mozzart scored just 4 three-pointers for the entire game. For example, only Mihailović himself (5 three-pointers) scored more three-pointers than the entire team of Mega Mozzart.
