Game recap: Budućnost VOLI continued their strong early-season form with an 83–78 road win over Vienna in Round 4 of the AdmiralBet ABA League Group B. The Podgorica side earned their third league victory, while Vienna — the new addition to the regional competition — suffered their first home defeat despite another spirited performance.

The visitors set the tone early, taking an 11-point lead after the opening quarter and maintaining control for most of the evening. Vienna, led by the energetic duo of Gregor Glas and Sulejman Boom, repeatedly pushed back and kept the game within reach, but Budućnost’s composure and depth ultimately made the difference.

Key Moments: The defining stretch came in the final four minutes of the game. Vienna, trailing for most of the night, cut the deficit to just three points (70–73) after a determined run fueled by aggressive defense and quick transition plays. The momentum seemed to be shifting, but Budućnost held their nerve.

A composed finish from Jerry Franck Boutsiele inside steadied the visitors, followed by a crucial basket from Axel Bouteille that restored a two-possession lead. On the next defensive trip, Budućnost forced a miss and immediately punished it at the other end with another efficient inside finish. Vienna’s efforts to rally again were met by solid rebounding and clock management from the visitors, who calmly closed out the contest to seal a hard-fought win in Vienna.

Man of the Match: Jerry Franck Boutsiele delivered a standout performance for Budućnost VOLI, anchoring both ends of the floor when it mattered most. The French center posted 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, along with seven rebounds, asserting control in the paint throughout the night. His impact was particularly evident in the fourth quarter, where his timely scoring and physical presence helped Budućnost resist Vienna’s final surge.

Can't trick the stats: Shooting accuracy ultimately separated the two teams. Budućnost VOLI finished the game shooting 51.7% from the field and 63.2% from two-point range, demonstrating high efficiency in their offensive sets. Vienna, though competitive, converted 43.1% overall and 54.5% from inside the arc. Those extra made shots — particularly from close range — underscored Budućnost’s better shot selection and composure under pressure, proving key in deciding the outcome.
