Game recap: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 23, Igokea m:tel have prevailed over Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Laktaši Sports Hall in Laktaši. This is the fourth win in a row for the Laktaši squad, and their 15th of the 2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League season, in which they are currently on a 15:8 record, holding the fifth place in the standings in their hands. On the other side, Spartak Office Shoes are now on a 12:11 record, and they will likely be placed just on the edge of the Playoffs Zone when the Round 23 ends.

Key moments: Just a bit less than 2 minutes to go in the first half, the visiting side has still been ahead by 3 points (39:42), but that’s when Igosi made a 6:0 run to end the first half with a 3-point lead (45:42). The run has been extended to 13:2 by the fourth minute of the second half, when the hosts were ahead by 8 points (52:44). As it turned out later in the game, Spartak never really managed to threaten to get in front again until the end of the game and therefore these were the key moments of the game.

Spartak Office Shoes did fight back and managed to cut the deficit to only 3 points late in the game, but Igokea m:tel have calmly brought the game to and end with a convincing score of 87:76 in the end.

Man of the match: Terrell Carter has been shining for Igokea m:tel all game long and has finished the contest with a double double, including 23 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and a valuation of 34 on his record. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Igokea m:tel have simply outrebounded Spartak Office Shoes 34:30 and that’s what turned the flow of the game their way decisively in the end.
