Game recap: In the Sunday’s matinee, Budućnost VOLI have prevailed over Mega MIS on the road in Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall. In a game, that has been marked by the way it started – the memory of former Budućnost VOLI player and head coach, as well as Mega MIS head coach, it has been the visiting squad, that has been in front throughout the majority of the game and that emerged victorious in the end. This is the 13th win for Budućnost VOLI and with a 13:5 record after 18 rounds, they have re-entered the battle for the second place in the standings, as they now hold the same number of wins as Partizan Mozzart Bet, which still have their round 18 game to play and one more than Cedevita Olimpija. On the other side, Mega MIS are now on a 9:9 record, and they are placed just above the edge of the Playoffs Zone right now.

Key moments: It have been Mega MIS, that have won the first quarter (20:19), but immediately as the second quarter began, they allowed the visiting side to go on a 15:0 run, that put Budućnost VOLI up in the double-digits (20:34). Since Mega MIS did not manage to fight back again afterwards following this blow, it turned out that these were the key moments of the clash in Belgrade.

Man of the match: Kenan Kamenjaš has been the key to the Budućnost VOLI win. He had 17 points, 5 rebounds, just as many assists, 2 steals, and a valuation of 26 on his record. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Rebounding was crucial for Budućnost VOLI on their way to the win. They had 32 rebounds and SC Derby only 19. That’s what turned the flow of the game their way.
