Spartak Office Shoes chasing Playoffs dream in historic debut season

2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 28, Monday, 21 April 2025:

SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES - BORAC MOZZART

Where? Dudova šuma Sports Hall, Subotica

When? 19:00

Story of the game: With just three rounds remaining in the regular season, Spartak Office Shoes are entering a crucial phase in their Playoffs race. Holding an overall record of 14-13, the Subotica-based side is in a tight battle with Mega Superbet (14-13), FMP Soccerbet (14-14), and Zadar (12-15) for the final two postseason spots. What makes Spartak’s journey even more compelling is that this is their debut season in the AdmiralBet ABA League—and they are just a couple of wins away from writing history by reaching the Playoffs.

This week's opponent, Borac Mozzart, may not be in Playoffs contention, but they also have no relegation concerns. With a 9-18 record, Borac is comfortably sitting in 12th place and will play the role of a potential spoiler. The team from Čačak can use these final rounds to build momentum, test their depth, and perhaps disrupt the plans of teams with more at stake.

 Match-up in focus: Rasir Bolton vs. Diante Baldwin.

All eyes will be on the duel of dynamic guards—Rasir Bolton for Spartak Office Shoes and Diante Baldwin for Borac Mozzart. Both players bring explosiveness, shot-making ability, and leadership to their respective backcourts.

Rasir Bolton has been a steady contributor for Spartak, averaging 13.0 points per game, and is known for his ability to score in bunches, especially in transition or off the dribble.

On the other end, Diante Baldwin is Borac’s top scorer with 13.4 points per game, providing both scoring punch and playmaking. Even in games where Borac’s stakes are lower, Baldwin consistently competes with intensity.

Their head-to-head battle could determine who controls the tempo—and possibly, who gets the W.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 1:0; In Subotica 0:0.
