Game recap: On the road in Topolica Sports Hall in Bar, Borac Mozzart have prevailed over Mornar-Barsko zlato in overtime. It’s a second win this season for Borac Mozzart and the one, with which they escape the danger zone near the very bottom of the standings, as the Čačak squad are now two wins above Mornar-Barsko zlato, that are still alone at the bottom, the only team without a win scored in the 2024/25 season.
Key moments: It’s been a close game throughout the playing time all until the end. And as the two squads have entered the final two and a half minutes of the game, things have been no different. The two squads have been tied at 79:79. That’s when Branden Jenkins started his own show. Over the next two offensive possessions he scored six points, while Borac Mozzart failed to score on the other end, so the hosts entered the final 80 seconds of the game with a 6-point lead (85:82). And just when it seemed like Borac would not be able to get back into the battle for the win, it has been Paulius Valinskas, that scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer from long range to force overtime at the score of 87:87.
In the extra period, Borac Mozzart quickly got in front with a 9:1 run over the first four minutes of the overtime and with a minute left in the game and the score on the scoreboard 88:96 it became clear that the visiting team would celebrate a new win this time.
Man of the match: Marko Jošilo has been the key to the win by the Borac Mozzart squad, as he led them to the triumph with 22 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and a valuation of 33 on his record. He is our man of the match!
Can’t trick the stats: Borac have outrebounded Mornar 49:33 this time around and this is what turned the flow of the game their way eventually
