Andrej Žakelj put approach ahead of tactics before the match in the legendary "Gripe" hall, and his guys' response was the right one, the best possible... After all, this is best confirmed by the fact that the rival scored only 39 points after three quarters, and not even 50 by the end.
The basketball players of Budućnost Voli once again showed why they are at the top of the AdmiralBet ABA League alongside Partizan. After a big win over Hapoel in the Eurocup, they also achieved a very important victory in the regional competition - they achieved their 15th triumph in the 17th round by defeating Split 83:48.
Safe, attractive when needed, convincing - for the eighth consecutive victory in the ABA League.
Split managed to take an early 18:13 lead, but Buducnost responded quickly, and after three-pointers by Fletcher Magee and Jogi Ferrell, they had a double-digit lead for the first time (28:18).
Everything after that was in blue and white colors, in the first half, Buducnost had a 39:23 lead, and at the end of the "atomic" third quarter, they won 22:9 and plus 28 (65:37).
After that, the only question was what the final scoreboard would show at "Gripe", and the difference went up to a final 83:48.
Andrej Žakelj's men "distributed" the points, and all players who were on the scoresheet scored.
The hero of the victory over Hapoel three days ago, Megi (14), scored the most points, while another excellent match was played by young Đorđije Jovanović with a double-double (12 points and 12 rebounds), as well as Yogi Ferrell, who scored eight points and shared six assists...
