Game recap: In the second game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Qualifiers, Borac of Čačak have prevailed over Zlatibor for the second time in the series, swept the latter and earned themselves a spot in the AdmiralBet ABA League for the 2022/23 season. It has been a game, in which Borac have been the better of the two sides throughout the playing time and in the end deservedly prevailed over the NLB ABA League 2 Champions for the second time in the series.

Key moments: Borac have started the game better and created themselves a double-digit lead already in the first quarter (7:17), but Zlatibor fought back, turned the game completely upside-down and even took a 7-point lead I the second quarter. However, in the finish of the second quarter, Borac again took control of the game and with a 13:0 run in the final four minutes, they turned their 36:29 deficit into a 36:42 lead at the big break. And not just that, their lead has been extended to 11 points (36:47) after the halftime break. That turned out to be crucial in the end, as Zlatibor did not manage to create another comeback in the remainder in the game and Borac celebrate their AdmiralBet ABA League spot for the forthcoming season.

Man of the match: Duda Sanadze has been the key player of Borac on their way to the win in Game 2 of the Qualifiers, as he had 15 points, 5 rebounds, just as many assists, and a valuation of 20. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: It has been assists/turnovers ratio, that has been crucial for the outcome of the game this time, as Zlatibor had 13 assists and just as many turnovers, while Borac had as many as 23 assists and only 8 turnovers.
