AdmiralBet ABA League Round 16, Friday, 22 April 2022:
KRKA - MEGA MOZZART
Game recap: On the road in Novo mesto, Mega Mozzart have prevailed over Krka in the previously postponed game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 16. With this triumph, Mega Mozzart have secured themselves a spot in the AdmiralBet ABA League for the 2022/23 season, as they will finish the Regular Season ahead of Borac even if Borac win against Mornar-Barsko zlato in their last game of the Regular Season, meaning, that Borac will be the ones to face Zlatibor in the AdmialBet ABA League Qualifiers for the 2022/23 season. Mega Mozzart have concluded their Regular Season campaign with a record of 10:16, in the lower half of the standings. On the other side, Krka have ended their season with a 4:22 record in the last place in the standings and they will move to the NLB ABA League 2 for the 2022/23 season.
Key moments: Krka have opened the game well and have been in front with the score 6:5 after 2 minutes of the game, but then managed to score only 4 points until the end of the first quarter, allowing Mega Mozzart to go to an 18:4 run over the course of 8 minutes. That’s where the battle for a pair of points was over.
Man of the match: Karlo Matković dominated the paint in Novo mesto. He finished the game with 14 points, 8 rebounds and a valuation of 23 on his record. He is rightfully our man of the match!
Can’t trick the stats: Field goal percentage, rebounds, asissts/turnovers ratio… you name it! Mega Mozzart turned out to be the better of the two squads in every single aspect of the game in this game and have deservedly snatched away the win.
