2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 3, Saturday, 14 March 2026:
Igokea m:tel – BOSNA BH TELECOM 66:73 (17:17, 17:14, 15:17, 17:25)
Game Recap: Bosna BH Telecom scored a valuable road win in Round 3 of the Top 8 stage, as they defeated Igokea m:tel in Laktaši 73:66, making a major step forward in the race for the Playoffs.
The Sarajevo side arrived in Laktaši after two painful defeats. First they suffered a heavy 40-point loss against Partizan Mozzart Bet in the AdmiralBet ABA League last weekend, while during the week they also lost the first leg of the FIBA Europe Cup Quarter-Finals against Falco Vulcano Energia KC Szombathely by 15 points. However, Bosna BH Telecom showed strong character and a winning mentality this time, bouncing back in style by stunning Igokea m:tel on the road.
With this triumph, Bosna BH Telecom improved their overall record to 9-10, overtaking Igokea m:tel on the standings, as the Laktaši side now hold the overall score of 8-11.
Key Moments: The key moments of the game came in the fourth quarter. Igokea m:tel entered the final period with a narrow one-point lead, but Bosna BH Telecom then took full control over the match. The visitors opened the decisive quarter with a crucial 18:6 run, which not only put them in front but also created a double-digit advantage (66:55). From that moment on, Bosna calmly protected their lead and successfully closed the game to secure an extremely important victory.
Man of the Match: The man of the match was Janari Joesaar, who delivered his best performance of the season. The Bosna forward finished the game with season-high 20 points, season-high 9 rebounds and a season-high 28 index rating, leading his team on both ends of the floor.
Can't Trick the Stats: Igokea m:tel struggled to convert their chances, especially from the free throw line and beyond the arc. The home side missed as many as 16 free throws, while they also had a very poor 18.5% three-point shooting percentage (5/27), which significantly limited their offensive efficiency in this matchup.
