Game recap: Igokea m:tel start their AdmiralBet ABA League season successfully, as they prevailed over FMP Soccerbet at home in their Laktaši Sports Hall. It has been a game, in which the home squad has been in command of the court almost throughout the playing time and deservedly grabbed a valuable win in the end.
Key moments: After entering the final quarter with a 5-point advantage, (69:64), Igokea m:tel pulled away with an 8:0 run, that gave them a comfortable 13-point lead with 7 minutes to go (77:64). FMP Soccerbet fought back and tried their best in order to make the game exciting again, but they failed to create a major comeback.
Man of the match: It has really been a team effort, as no less than 6 players put in a double-digit number of points for Igokea m:tel, however, it has been big man Nikola Popović who left an excellent impression with his all around performance of 13 points, 6 rebounds, just as many assists and a valuation of 24 on his record. He is our man of the match!
Can’t trick the stats: Teamwork mattered for Igokea m:tel this time and it’s evident from the number of assists of both teams. While Igokea m:tel had 28 assists on their record, FMP Soccerbet had 9. That’s what turned the flow of the game their way.
