Game recap: In the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 25, Budućnost VOLI have prevailed over Mega MIS on the road in Sremska Mitrovica and achieved their ninth win in a row! For Budućnost VOLI, this is the 18th win of the season and the one that puts them on an 18:6 record after 24 games played, which brings them a step closer to confirming (at least) third place at the end of the Regular Season. In order to confirm that, they will need to win just one more game, or wait for a defeat by Cedevita Olimpija. On the other side, Mega MIS are now on a 12:13 record, which means that they have lost their chances of reaching the 5th place in the standings at the end of the Regular Season, which will be taken by FMP Soccerbet.
Key moments: The hosts entered the game well and after a tied first quarter (24:24), they took the initiative in the second quarter, creating themselves a 32:25 lead in the 13th minute of the clash. However, as it seemed like the game could turn their way, Budućnost VOLI replied strongly, and went on a 29:6 run until the end of the halftime, which they won with the score of 54:38. Well, this still hasn’t been the key period of the game, since Mega MIS fought back in the third and tied the game at 62:62 in the 28th minute. Budućnost VOLI replied with a 12:2 run over the seven minutes for the 64:76 lead with 5 minutes to go. It turned out that this was the crucial run by the visiting side, as Mega MIS did not manage to threaten their win again until the very end.
Man of the match: Jaleel O’Brien has been the most efficient at the side of Budućnost VOLI this time, as he led them to the win with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a valuation of 23. He is our man of the match!
Can’t trick the stats: Budućnost VOLI have outrebounded Mega MIS 35:27 and that’s what gave them the win this time.
