Game Recap: Budućnost VOLI delivered a confident home performance in Round 11 of Group B, posting a 102:91 victory over Vienna to secure their eighth win of the season. The hosts set the tone early with a sharp offensive display and carried a comfortable advantage into halftime. While Vienna showed resilience after the break and attempted to claw back into contention, Budućnost maintained control and answered every push to see out the game. The result keeps the Podgorica side firmly on track, while Vienna remain in search of consistency.

Key Moments: The decisive stretch came in the opening half, when Budućnost combined pace with perimeter accuracy to build separation. A strong first quarter created early breathing room, and a composed second period—highlighted by a late three-pointer to close the half—pushed the margin to double digits at the break.
Vienna briefly gained momentum in the third quarter, trimming the deficit with improved efficiency inside, but Budućnost halted the surge before it could turn into real pressure. In the final period, the hosts responded with timely baskets to restore a commanding cushion, including a three-point play that extended the lead to its peak and effectively sealed the outcome.

Man of the Match: Rasheed Sulaimon set the standard with a complete performance on both ends of the floor. He led his team with 19 points and complemented his scoring with five rebounds and two assists, consistently making the right read in key moments. His influence was felt throughout, from scoring runs to steady playmaking that kept Budućnost in rhythm.

Can’t Trick the Stats: The difference from beyond the arc proved decisive. Budućnost VOLI converted 55% from three-point range, knocking down 15 triples, while Vienna struggled to find consistency from deep, finishing at 23% with eight made threes. That efficiency gap stretched the defense, opened driving lanes, and repeatedly punished Vienna’s rotations—an edge that ultimately shaped the final scoreline.
