Game Recap: Igokea m:tel continue their flawless start to the 2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League season after a dramatic 90:84 road win against SC Derby in Podgorica. Playing their first away game of the season after two home victories, the Laktaši side faced one of their toughest challenges so far. SC Derby played with high intensity and energy, while Igokea m:tel relied on experience and teamwork to stay in touch. Still, midway through the final quarter, the hosts appeared to be in full control, leading by seven points (79:72).
Key Moments: Just when it looked like SC Derby would secure a big home win, Igokea m:tel pulled off a remarkable comeback in the closing minutes. From 3:20 until 1:20 left on the clock, the visitors went on a stunning 12:1 run, turning the score from 72:79 to 84:80. That decisive stretch featured four consecutive three-pointers - three by Breein Tyree and one by Boriša Simanić - which completely turned the tide of the game.
Man of the Match: Breein Tyree was once again the driving force behind Igokea m:tel’s success. The American guard stepped up when his team needed him the most, finishing the game with 21 points. Most notably, he hit three clutch three-pointers in the final minutes, sparking the crucial run that decided the outcome.
Can’t Trick the Stats: One of the biggest factors that separated the two sides was ball control. SC Derby committed 15 turnovers compared to Igokea m:tel’s 8, and that proved decisive in such a close contest.
