Story of the game: On Saturday night, Borac Mozzart will be hosting U-BT Cluj-Napoca at home in their Borac Sports Hall, Čačak.
Borac Mozzart need a win in their last game in the Regular Season and a defeat by Igokea m:tel vs. Krka in their last game of the Regular Season in order to qualify for a Top 8 spot in the 2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League season. Therefore, it is expected to be an electric atmosphere in their Borac Sports Hall in anticipation of a big success of the Čačak squad. However, to do that, the red squad need to prove themselves to be a better squad than U-BT Cluj-Napoca first. And the Romanian squad have their own plans as well, as they wish to set themselves the best possible position ahead of the Top 8 clashes.
The two squads are entering the game after achieving totally different scores over the past three games in the regional competition. While Borac Mozzart are heading into the big game after a streak of 3 consecutive victories, U-BT Cluj-Napoca have lost their last 3 games in a row. And while Borac have won their last 3 games, U-BT have won twice over the span of the last 5 games.
The first time the two sides met this season, it has been U-BT Cluj-Napoca that prevailed convincingly, with the score of 97:76. Can Borac strike back?
Match-up in focus: Josh Pierre-Louis has joined Borac Mozzart ahead of the Round 17 and immediately proved himself to be a big reinforcement of the Čačak side. He has scored 17 points in the game against FMP Soccerbet and is currently the top scorer of his team. However, this time, he will have a strong opponent on the other side – the second-leading scorer and top passer of U-BT Cluj-Napoca, Daron Russell, who has been averaging 15.2 points and 5.9 assists per game this season. Who will lead his team to the win this time?
