Game Recap: Bosna BH Telecom are heading to the 2026 AdmiralBet ABA League Playoffs after a thrilling comeback win over Igokea m:tel in the Play-In clash in Sarajevo – 80:76. The home side overturned a second-half deficit to secure the 7th place on the standings and set up a quarter-finals showdown with Partizan Mozzart Bet.

The things were not looking promising for Bosna BH Telecom midway through the game. The hosts lost the second quarter 18:28, allowing Igokea m:tel to seize control and head into the second half with momentum. The visitors kept their advantage deep into the fourth period and were even up by 8 points with just over five minutes remaining (61:69), putting Bosna on the brink.

However, that is when the Sarajevo side produced a stunning response. Tightening up defensively and executing calmly in offense, Bosna BH Telecom conceded just 7 points for the rest of the game while gradually chipping away at the deficit before completing the turnaround.

Key moments: The decisive blows came in the final minute, with Bosna’s leaders stepping up when it mattered the most. With the score tied at 74:74, Edin Atić delivered an assist to Jure Zubac, who finished a crucial floater for 76:74. On the very next key possession, the roles were reversed - Zubac found Atić, who calmly knocked down another clutch 2-pointer to extend the lead to 78:74 and effectively seal the win.

Man of the match: Edin Atić led by example in this high-pressure encounter. Alongside his clutch basket and assist in the closing moments, he finished the game as the top scorer of Bosna BH Telecom with 17 points, while also grabbing 10 rebounds for a double-double performance.

Can’t trick the stats: Bosna BH Telecom made the difference in several key statistical categories. The home side dominated the boards, shared the ball better, and shot efficiently from long range, knocking down 11 three-pointers out of 24 attempts. In contrast, Igokea m:tel struggled from beyond the arc, making just 5 threes throughout the game - a gap that proved crucial in such a tight contest.
