2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 12, Saturday, 16 December 2023:
PARTIZAN MOZZART BET - Budućnost VOLI 96:83 (21:28, 29:13, 28:23, 18:19)
Game recap: Partizan Mozzart Bet have scored their 4th win in a row in the AdmiralBet ABA League as they defeated Budućnost VOLI in this week's NLB Match of the Round.
The opening 10 minutes of the game did not suggest that this would be another comfortable day for the black-and-whites. Budućnost VOLI played an excellent 1st quarter in which they scored some big 3-point shots and gained a 7-point lead – 28:21.
But, their lead did not last for too long.
Partizan Mozzart Bet turned on their engines in the 2nd quarter and not just that they have returned from a 7-point deficit, but they have managed to get in front by 9 points until the halftime – 50:41.
After that, the home team never took off their foot from the gas pedal. Partizan Mozzart Bet went on to score 28 points in the 3rd quarter to increase their lead to 14 points – 78:64, while they had no problems keeping their lead in the last 10 minutes.
Key moments: That 2nd quarter definitely changed the flow of this match. Partizan Mozzart Bet played a much better defense in that period than in the opening 10 minutes as they conceded just 13 points, while on the other side of the court the black-and-whites made 29 points to take over the lead and to take over full control over the game.
Man of the match: There is no more doubt, Partizan Mozzart Bet have really hit the jackpot by signing Bruno Caboclo. The Brazilian center was the top scorer of the Belgrade team today with 21 points, while his overall index rating was 24.
Can’t trick the stats: If you want to beat Partizan Mozzart Bet on the road, you need to reduce your turnovers to an absolute minimum. Yet, Budućnost VOLI did not succeed in that today as the visitors made 17 turnovers and therefore opened the door for plenty of easy buckets for the home team.
