Zlatibor Mozzart delivered a strong all-around performance on home court, defeating previously unbeaten Borac WWIN 85:77 in Round 3 of the ABA League 2 season. With this result, both teams now stand at 2–1 after their opening three games.

The matchup was intense from the opening tip, with Zlatibor setting the tone early and taking a 28:23 lead after the first quarter. They continued to maintain control into halftime, going into the break up 52:44. A defensive-minded third quarter helped Zlatibor extend the margin even further (67:55), giving them enough cushion to withstand Borac’s late push in the final period.

One of Zlatibor’s key advantages came in transition. They dominated the fast-break game, scoring 24 points on the run compared to Borac’s 13. The hosts also made a major impact at the free-throw line, finishing 22-of-27, while Borac struggled heavily from the stripe, connecting on only 3-of-10 attempts.

Zlatibor's offensive balance was on full display, as six players reached double figures. Ivan Smiljanić and Stefan Savić each contributed 13 points, with Savić adding 8 rebounds. Moore, Hunter-Whitfield, and Lacy all chipped in 11 points apiece, giving Zlatibor consistent scoring across the board.

Borac WWIN, meanwhile, was led by an impressive performance from Tyron Harris, who poured in 22 points along with 3 assists and 2 steals. Dušan Makitan added 15 points.
