Against one of the big teams of the AdmiralBet ABA League, Mornar had a positive score, and as of tonight he is in the red - in the seventh match against Ljubljana, Mihai Pavićević's team suffered their fourth defeat, because they were powerless against a significantly stronger, better quality, more talented, more experienced and more expensive team. team, which celebrated 100:79.

Barani were leading 2:1 in the head-to-head matches in the capital of Slovenia until tonight, but it was clear that they had no chance in "Tivoli".

The team that defeated Partizan 16 days ago, then played with SC Derby in "Morača" and after a desperate start caught the last train for the round of XNUMX of the Eurocup, from the beginning wondered about everything.

Jurica Golemac's chosen players used their advantage in height and strength and ended almost all actions in the racket.

Already at the end of the 1st quarter, they reached a double-digit advantage (28:17) with the second three-pointer by Josh Adams, and then to plus 13, but the guests twice came close to minus five.

In the 2nd half, the home team increased the tempo and in the 24th minute reached a 21-point difference (63:42). Pavićević could not find an answer for the strong centers of Alen Omić and Karl Matković, as well as the "four" of Amar Alibegović, which is best shown by a surprising fact - after the young Croatian's dunk from 69:50 in the 27th minute, the home team had the same number of points from racket as much as the Sailor from all distances!

In the finish line, the backs were a little out of sorts, so Cedevita Olimpija ended the match with "only" 68 points from the racket.

In the defeated team, Marko Pecarski and Deron Fets Russell were the most effective with 18 points each, with the fact that the American playmaker too often forced threes and hit only two of 12 shots. However, he also had 12 assists.

Petar Vujačić (12) and Antonio Vranković (11) also had a double-digit performance, while Omić (18), Alibegović (17), Adams and Matković (15 each) rebounded for the home team.
