The Montenegrin basketball players won probably the key victory for their place in the second round of Mundobasket this morning, our time, against Mexico in Manila - 91:71.

Nikola Vučević shone, who had a double-double performance in NBA style (27 points, 10 rebounds), followed by Kendrick Perry with 16 and Nikola Ivanovic with 14 points, Petar Popović scored eight, Bojan Dubljević and Nemanja Radović seven each. ...

Only at the start of the match did Boško Radović's team struggle with the "Sombreros", who led 29:26 after three minutes of play in the second quarter, and then our team went on a 17:4 run, the first double-digit lead and the match was over.

All assessments indicate that Montenegro has taken a key step towards the second phase, as the duel with Egypt follows (Sunday, 10.45:XNUMX a.m.), which is the only real outsider in the group and behind Mexico in terms of quality.

Today, the "Pharaohs" lost to the first favorite of Group D, Lithuania 93:67, so if there are no surprises, Montenegro will play against the Lithuanians on Tuesday (14.30:XNUMX p.m.) for first place in the group - but also for a better position when they meet Group C ( USA, Greece).
