Game recap: Budućnost VOLI did not have any problems on a tough road court in Novo mesto. The blue-and-whites scored a comfortable win against Krka to improve their season score to 16-6.

While Budućnost VOLI are slowly getting back in their best shape after some mini crisis they faced during March, Krka have suffered their 4th defeat in a row and they are still all alone at the bottom of the table with the overall score of 4-19. Krka are two wins behind 13th placed Split (6-17), while both teams have 3 more games to play in the rest of the season.

Key moments: Budućnost VOLI have gained a double digit lead already by the end of the 1st quarter – 24:13, while the visitors have increased the gap to 19 points until halftime – 49:30. The situation down on the court did not change dramatically after the big break. Budućnost VOLI continued to be a dominant force in this match and they had no problems keeping their lead in the rest of the game.

Man of the match: Budućnost VOLI center Zoran Nikolić lacked just 1 rebound to complete a double-double achievement. Nikolić made 12 points and 9 rebounds today, while his overall index rating was 22.

Can't trick the stats: Krka made just 11 two-pointers for the entire game (11/30 - 36.7%). On the other side, two pointers were probably the strongest offensive weapon for Budućnost VOLI, like in most of their games this season (19/36 – 52.8%).
