Game recap: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 12, Zadar have demonstrated a convincing performance to roll over Borac Mozzart at home in their Krešimir Ćosić Arena in Višnjik. This way, Zadar are now on a 5:7 record after 12 rounds played and they will be placed just below the edge of the Playoffs Zone after 12 rounds of the Regular Season. On the other side, Borac Mozzart remain with only 3 wins on a 3:9 record and they will need to keep grinding in order to get away from the Playoffs Zone as soon as possible.

Key moments: Midway through the first quarter, the two squad have been tied for the last time, as the score was 8:8 and that’s when Zadar went on an 11:0 run, that put them up by 11 points (19:8) with 2 minutes to go in the game. It was still early in the contest, but as it turned out later, these have indeed been the key moments of the clash, as the visiting side simply did not manage to get back into the game anymore all until the end.

Man of the match: Vladimir Mihailović has put on another exceptional performance, as he led his Zadar towards the valuable win over Borac Mozzart in Višnjik this time. He had 25 points, 4 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal and a valuation of 27 on his record. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Zadar have been shooting three-pointers 44% (15:34), while Borac Mozzart have only had a 26% (6:23) success rate from beyond the arc. This is what kept a pair of points in Višnjik this time.
