Game Recap: In Round 9 of the AdmiralBet ABA League play-out phase, Spartak Office Shoes delivered a convincing performance on home court, defeating Borac Mozzart 92:66. The visitors opened the game with greater intensity and built an early 6:16 advantage, but Spartak responded quickly, closing the first quarter ahead 22:21.

The second period proved decisive, as the hosts dominated on both ends of the floor and outscored Borac 28:13 to establish a double-digit halftime lead. After the break, Spartak maintained full control, steadily extending the margin and eventually sealing the win with their largest lead of the night. The result secured them the top position in the play-out standings heading into the next phase.

Key Moments: The turning point came late in the first quarter and carried into the second. After falling behind early, Spartak shifted momentum with improved defensive pressure and more efficient ball movement, allowing them to overturn the deficit before the end of the opening period (22:21).

The decisive stretch followed in the second quarter, where a dominant 28:13 run created clear separation. Spartak’s ability to limit Borac’s transition play while capitalizing on perimeter shooting ensured the gap continued to grow. From that point onward, the home side controlled the tempo and prevented any comeback attempt, gradually pulling away to confirm the outcome well before the final buzzer.

Man of the Match: Danilo Nikolić stood out as the most impactful player on the floor. He finished the game with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, leading all scorers. His offensive contribution was particularly crucial during the second quarter, where Spartak built the advantage that defined the rest of the contest.

Can’t Trick the Stats: The statistical comparison highlights two key areas that shaped the result. Spartak’s efficiency from beyond the arc was a major factor, as they knocked down 13 three-pointers compared to Borac’s 3. This significant gap in perimeter scoring created a constant offensive edge for the home team.

Additionally, control of the offensive glass played a crucial role. Spartak collected 11 offensive rebounds and converted them into 16 second-chance points, while Borac managed just 4 offensive boards and 6 second-chance points. These extra possessions further tilted the balance, reinforcing Spartak’s dominance and ultimately contributing to the convincing final margin.
