Game recap: Budućnost VOLI have scored their 6^th win in the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season as they defeated Split at home court in Round 7.

Although the final score suggests that this was an easy job for the Podgorica side, actually the home team had some major problems to break the brave yellow-and-black crew. Split even had a double-digit lead in the 2^nd quarter – 25:35, but that is the moment when Budućnost VOLI started dominating the court in this match.

The home team have taken over the lead until the halftime – 37:35, while then they sealed the win the 3^rd quarter by winning that period 22:10 and increasing the gap to 14 points – 59:45.

Budućnost VOLI now have the overall score of 6-1, while Split are at 1-6.

Key moments: The final two minutes of the 2^nd quarter might have decided the winner in this match. All the way until that moment, Split was a far better side down on the court and the visitors were up by 10 points – 25:35. However, then Budućnost VOLI made a 12:0 run in just 2 minutes to take over the lead (37:35) and to completely break the spirits of the away side.

Man of the match: Colbey Ross has done plenty of good things for Budućnost VOLI in this match. He scored 10 points, delivered 7 assists and made 4 rebounds, while it is worth mentioning that he drained a big 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer to put Budućnost VOLI in front ahead of the 2^nd half.

Can’t trick the stats: Split scored just 58 points in Podgorica, while on top of that they had 21 turnovers. Those are simply not good numbers for a tough road game like this.
