Game recap: On Friday night, SC Derby have edged out Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica. This way, the Podgorica squad aren’t alone at the bottom of the Play-out standings, at least for a day, as they now have an equal number of victories as Split do (4:13). On the other side, Spartak Office Shoes remain atop of the standings of the Play-out stage of the competition, but will only be a win ahead of either FMP or Mega Superbet after Round 1.

Key moments: Second quarter has been crucial for the outcome of the game in Morača Sports Hall. Spartak Office Shoes led by 2 points at the big break (37:39), but the hosts have turned things around in the third. They made a crucial run between 23rd and 26th minute of the game, when they made a 9:0 run to convert their 2-point deficit (41:43) into a 7-point lead (50:43). Later in the game, they even managed to increase their lead into double-digits, but for sure, these were the key moments of the clash in Podgorica. 

Man of the match: Aleksa Ilić has been the key for the win of his team, giving stability to the entire squad with his presence under both rims. He finished the game with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and a valuation of 28. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Spartak Office Shoes had 11 turnovers and SC Derby 5. That’s what turned the flow of the game the home side way.
