Game recap: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Play-out Round 8, Split have triumphed over Vienna on the road in Hallmann Dome, Vienna. It’s a very important win for the Dalmatian side, that are battling to avoid relegation and the one that ties them in the 9th place in the standings with SC Derby by the number of games won. They both now hold 6 wins in their hands, with SC Derby still having 3 games to play until the end of the second stage of the competition and Split now only 2. Both are one win behind Borac Mozzart right now and two behind Vienna.

Key moments: It’s been a game of ups and downs, where Split have been in front by 4 points after the opening quarter and Vienna by a point at halftime. Split bounced back again in the second half and made a crucial difference in the final quarter. With 5 minutes to go in the game, the margin was still only 4 points for the yellow squad (80:84), but that’s when 7:0 run followed by Split over the course of the next two minutes, that put them up by 11 points (80:91). As it turned out, these have been the key moments of the game, as the hosts never managed to recover after this blow again.

Man of the match: The latest Split reinforcement, Glenn Cosey, has had a game to remember. He scored 32 points, while adding 5 assists, 1 rebound, 2 steals and a valuation of 39 to his stats. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Vienna had 13 turnovers and Split only 7. That’s what made the difference between the two sides.
