Story of the game: In the Round 11 of the AdmiralBet ABA League season, Igokea m:tel will be hosting Partizan Mozzart Bet at home in their Laktaši Sports Hall.
The question ahead of the Sunday’s contest in Laktaši is now only whose winning run would continue this time, but also whether Igosi can become the first team to prevail over Partizan Mozzart Bet this season in the regional competition.
Recently, Igokea m:tel have won 3 out of their last 5 games and have been unbeaten for the past two games. On the other side, of course, the black and white have triumphed in every single game played so far in the AdmiralBet ABA League season.
Winning would not have only a significance of prestige for the hosts, as they are currently on a 6:4 record and need to keep winning in order to strengthen their position amongst the Top 8. On the other hand. Partizan Mozzart Bet also need to keep winning in order to protect their margin ahead of the first competitors atop of the standings.
History reveals that previously, the games in Laktaši between the two squads have always been tight and difficult to predict. In 14 mutual encounters played so far, Igokea m:tel have prevailed 6 times and Partizan Mozzart Bet 8 times.
How will the clash between the two end this time?
Match-up in focus: One could say that the most exciting match-up of the game could be the one between two point guards – Bryce Jones of Igokea m:tel and Duane Washington of Partizan Mozzart Bet. While both of them are currently the top scorers of their respective squads, with Jones averaging 14.7 points per game and Washington 12.1, Jones is also the top passer of Igokea m:tel at the moment, as he has been dishing out 5.9 assists per game so far this season for the squad of Laktaši. Who will lead his team to the valuable win this time around?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 9:20, In Laktaši 6:8.
