Game recap: In the last game on schedule on Saturday night, Budućnost VOLI have prevailed over Zadar at home in their Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica! With this win, the hosts remain atop of the standings and on Sunday we will receive an answer whether they will reign alone after 19 rounds with a record of 17:2, or Partizan Mozzart Bet would join them. On the other side, Zadar are now on a 10:9 record, and they will be positioned just above the edge of the Playoffs Zone after 19 rounds.
Key moments: Budućnost VOLI have been in front for the majority of the playing time but just did not manage to pull away for good, all until the moment when Vladimir Mihailović scored his long-range three-pointer to take Zadar in front by a point (58:59) with 2 minutes to go in the third quarter. As it turned out, he has woken up the sleeping lion and the hosts replied with a 12:0 run, that ended only in the 31st minute with the score of 70:59. These were the key moments of the game, as the visitors simply did not manage to threaten Budućnost VOLI with another comeback anymore all until the end.
Man of the match: Rasheed Sulaimon shined for Budućnost VOLI, as he led his team to the big win in the end with game-high 24 points, while adding 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and a valuation of 26 to his record. He is our man of the match!
Can’t trick the stats: Zadar have only scored 9 out of their 15 free throw attempts and it turns out that this might just as well be the reason for their defeat this time, as they have been better than Budućnost VOLI in almost every other statistical category.
