IGOKEA M:TEL – Budućnost VOLI 88:74 (24:17, 22:18, 22:17, 20:22)
Game recap: After beating Partizan Mozzart Bet on the road last week, Igokea m:tel have defeated another regional giant as they prevailed over Budućnost VOLI in Laktaši this Saturday evening.
Igokea m:tel are playing some top-class basketball in the 2023/24 season and we should say it out loud. The boys from Laktaši have completely outplayed last year’s semifinalists Budućnost VOLI in today’s game in which the home team even had a 26-point lead at one moment.
Igokea m:tel have therefore tied with Budućnost VOLI on the 2023/24 standings as now both teams have the overall score of 6-2.
Key moments: Igokea m:tel have been gradually increasing their lead throughout the game, while they definitely sealed their win in the 4th quarter in which they made the 13:0 run to extend the gap to 26 points - 81:55.
Man of the match: Several Igokea m:tel players have had an exceptional game, yet we will say that the MVP award will this time go to the hands of Nikola Tanasković. This 26-year-old power forward scored 24 points today, while his overall index rating was 25.
Can’t trick the stats: The home squad was once again dominant in rebounding and that is something that this team is now doing week by week. Igokea m:tel made 31 rebounds in today’s match, while Budućnost VOLI had 22.
