Game recap: In the NLB Match of the Round 21, Budućnost VOLI have prevailed over Cedevita Olimpija at home in their Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica, grabbing their 12th win in a row. This is also the 19th win this season for the blue and white, that will keep them atop of the standings after 21 rounds with a 19:2 record. On the other side, Cedevita Olimpija have lost their second game in a row and will be on a 12:9 record after 21 rounds, that will still be enough to keep their spot in the Playoffs Zone, but will need to start winning again in order to keep things that way.

Key moments: Budućnost VOLI have started the game with a dominant first half. They have pulled away already in the opening quarter, which they have won by 9 points (26:17), and kept on grinding in the second quarter. When Yogi Ferrell scored in the 15th minute of the game, the margin between the two squads was 17 points (37:20) and it already seemed like a win would stay in Podgorica this time.

Cedevita Olimpija did fight back in the second half and cut the gap to 6 points on some occasions, but did not manage to get any closer than that until the end.

Man of the match: It’s been McKinley Wright, who has been steering the way for his team towards the win all game long and as he finished the game with 18 points, 6 assists, 2 rebounds and a valuation of 23, he is selected our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Budućnost VOLI have collected 31 rebounds and Cedevita Olimpija only 24. That’s what turned the flow of the game their way.
