Game recap: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 24, Split have prevailed over Borac Mozzart at home in their Split Sports Hall in Split. This way, the yellow squad have achieved an extremely important win in their Playoffs Race, with a record of 10:14, as they now hold the same number of wins as Zadar and SC Derby, which were just above the edge of the Playoffs Zone ahead of Round 24, but they still have to play their Round 24 games. On the other side, Borac Mozzart will need to keep battling in order to escape the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, as they remain in the 13th place by the number of victories achieved, with a 6:17 record.

Key moments: Split have entered the game powerfully, and opened the scoring contest with a 7:0 run in the opening minute and a half. Their lead continued to grow and reached 17 points in the 6th minute of the game, when the score was 24:7. As it turned out later in the game, the visiting side did not manage to fight their way back into the battle for the win and Split prevailed.

Man of the match: Lewis Sullivan simply shined for Split this time, as he led his team towards the new win. He had 23 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and a game-high valuation of 38. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Field goal percentage, rebounding, passing, you name it! Split dominated almost every statistical category and fully deserved to win this time.
