Game recap: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 12, Split have prevailed over MZT Skopje Aerodrom on the road in Jane Sandanski Arena in Skopje. It is an extremely important win for the Dalmatian side, that are now on a 4:8 record after 12 rounds and are 2 wins up in comparison to the MZT Skopje Aerodrom, that are alone at the very bottom of the standings, in their battle to avoid the danger zone near the bottom.

Key moments: At the beginning of the final quarter, the hosts were still up by 4 points (63:59), but that’s when Split went on a 12:2 run between the 31st and 37th minutes of the game, to turn the game completely upside down at the score of 65:71. MZT Skopje Aerodrom fought back and tried to bounce in front again, but just did not manage to do it in the dying moments of the game.

Man of the match: Dominik Mavra has been the key to the win of his Split, as he led them towards the win with 23 poiints, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and a valuation of 26. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Since the teams were separated by only 5 points in the end, it comes as a no surprise that they have actually been quite similar in rebounding, passing, steals and turnovers. What might have turned the tide Split’s way was the field goal percentage, as Split were shooting 55% from the field and MZT Skopje Aerodrom only 48%.
