Story of the Game: The Match of the Round in the Top 8 stage brings us a true regional classic, as Bosna BH Telecom will host Partizan Mozzart Bet in a highly anticipated clash.
This game carries special significance, as the two clubs will face each other for the first time since March 2010. After more than a decade without meeting on the court, the renewal of this historic rivalry adds an extra layer of excitement to what is already one of the standout games of the Top 8 round.
Both teams entered the Top 8 stage with different results in the opening round. Partizan Mozzart Bet started their campaign in the best possible way, defeating Budućnost VOLI in a derby matchup and immediately sending a strong message to the rest of the competition. On the other side, Bosna BH Telecom suffered a road defeat against Dubai Basketball, although the Sarajevo side showed a good fight throughout the contest.
With the Top 8 stage still in its early phase, every victory could prove crucial in the race for better positions in the standings. That is why both teams will enter this matchup highly motivated to secure an important win.
Match-up in focus: Alfonso Plummer vs Carlik Jones.
One of the most intriguing battles in this game will take place between two of the most dangerous scorers on the court - Alfonso Plummer and Carlik Jones.
Plummer has been the offensive leader of Bosna BH Telecom this season. The sharpshooting guard is currently the team’s top scorer with 14.8 points per game, providing consistent scoring and long-range threat for the Sarajevo squad.
Across the floor will be Carlik Jones, the offensive engine of Partizan Mozzart Bet. After recovering from a tough injury that he suffered earlier in the season, Jones is now fully ready to lead his team in the decisive stretch of the campaign. Known for his explosive scoring ability and playmaking, the dynamic guard will once again be one of the key figures for the Belgrade side.
Head-to-Head Score in ABA: In total 2:8; In Sarajevo 2:3.
