In one of the most important games of the season, the Sailors' basketball players dominated and defeated Zadar more convincingly than the final score would suggest (89:81).
With the sixth victory, Mihail Pavićević's team took a big step towards survival in the ABA league, because seven rounds before the end, they have two more triumphs than Krka, and one each from Olimpija, Igokea and tonight's rival.
After the first quarter, in which the Rams took a 9:0 lead with a 22:15 run, and then allowed the rival to turn it around to 25:22, everything was in favor of the home team.
In the 19th minute, they reached a double-digit advantage for the first time (47:37) and until the end they only allowed their rival to come within five points (51:46).
The biggest difference was in the 36th minute, when Đorđe Drenovac increased the score to plus 20 (86:66).
The team from Dalmatia softened the defeat with a 15:3 series until the end.
Pavićević's players distributed the points remarkably - Nemanja Vranješ and Antabija Voler scored 16 each, Uroš Luković (11 rebounds) and Strahinja Mićović 13 each, and Landan Sane (eight caught balls, of which four in the attack, four stolen balls and three assists). and Nikola Rebić (eight passes) 12 each.
