POST-GAME COMMENTS

Game recap: Partizan Mozzart Bet survived a tough road game in Subotica as they managed to prevail over league newcomers Spartak Subotica in packed Dudova Šuma Sports Hall.

The black-and-whites broke their rivals in the very last quarter in which the Belgrade powerhouse scored 30 points to seize the precious win.

Before that, Spartak Office Shoes was more than just a worthy opponent to the reigning vice-champions as the Subotica crew had the lead most of the time during the first 30 minutes. However, it seems that the home side simply ran out of gas in crucial moments. Spartak Office Shoes squad did not have enough strength to keep their defensive pressure and Partizan Mozzart Bet used that to show all of their offensive power in the final 10 minutes of the game.

Partizan Mozzart Bet have therefore improved their season score to 2-0, while Spartak Office Shoes are still winless as they opened their first ever AdmiralBet ABA League campaign with the score 0-2.

Key moments: The two sides entered the last quarter all tied at 69:69, while then Partizan Mozzart Bet showed that they have indeed signed some players with winning mentality. Isaac Bonga scored 3 big three-pointers in the 4th quarter, Carlik Jones made 7 points in that period, while Vanja Marinković hit maybe the key 3-pointer late in the game to increase the lead of his team to 9 points.

Partizan Mozzart Bet won the 4^th quarter by 30:21 and grabbed the win.

Man of the match: Isaac Bonga might definitely become the new Partizan Mozzart Bet fans’ favorite. The German international made those 3 very important 3-pointers in the 4^th quarter, while he did not miss a single 3-point shot for the whole game – 4/4.

Can’t trick the stats: Spartak Office Shoes conceded too many points in the 4^th quarter, we have already said that, while we can also say that the other main reason for Spartak losing this game was the number of turnovers. The home team made 18 turnovers tonight, while on the other side Partizan Mozzart Bet had just 7 turnovers for the whole match.
