Will Partizan defend their home court once again or will Zvezda strike back and tie the score?

AdmiralBet ABA League Finals Round 2, Thursday, 15 June 2023:

PARTIZAN MOZZART BET – CRVENA ZVEZDA MERIDIANBET

Where? Štark Arena, Belgrade

When? 20:00

Story of the game: Game 2 of the 2023 AdmiralBet ABA League Finals will be played this Thursday evening in Štark Arena.

Partizan Mozzart Bet will once again have home-court advantage and we all saw in Game 1 how much that means to the black-and-white team. Carried by the noise of the record-breaking crowd, Partizan Mozzart Bet defeated Crvena zvezda Meridianbet at the start of the series to take the lead in the Finals, while the black-and-whites will now try to defend their home court once again and come just a win away from claiming the title.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet are losing in the AdmiralBet ABA League Finals for the first time since 2018 and the red-and-whites want to bounce back immediately. Zvezda played a good second half in Game 1 in which they almost pulled off a miraculous comeback after being down by 20 points at halftime. If they manage to repeat that performance from the second half, they might get the precious road win on Thursday evening.

Match-up in focus: Kevin Punter led Partizan Mozzart Bet toward the win in Game 1 as he scored 19 points for just 23 minutes that he spent on court. On the other side, Facundo Campazzo was the best player in Crvena zvezda Meridianbet team as he recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists.

The outcome of Game 2 will therefore largely depend on the performance of these two players.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 26:28; At Partizan Mozzart Bet home court 15:10.
