In the opening game of the ABA League 2 Finals, Široki TT Kabeli edged out TFT Skopje at home in their Pecara Sports Hall in Široki Brijeg.
In a game of ups and downs, it has been the Skopje side that opened the encounter in a better fashion, leading by 7 points by the big break (37:44). However, the hosts did not give up and arranged a major comeback in the second half, that earned them a 2-point lead after the third quarter (64:62), and a 88:69 win in the end.
Jalyn McCreary shined for the hosts as he led them towards the big win, with 26 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and a valuation of 34 on his record.
This way, Široki TT Kabeli are now just one step away from claiming their very first ABA League 2 trophy, and already next Wendesday they can sweep the series, shall they prevail on the road in Skopje. In case TFT bounce back in the second encounter of the Final series, the series move back to Široki Brijeg for Game 3.
