The furious third quarter in which they scored 33 points was enough for the Buducnost Voli basketball players to routinely do the job in the first city derby of the season.
The "Blues" have nine wins and two losses in the AdmiralBet ABA League after they were better than SC Derby in the eerily empty "Morači" - 107:84.
Andrej Žakelj's team rounded off a series of four games on their home field in the right way, winning three (Wolves, Cibona and Derby), and the only defeat they experienced a few days ago in a duel with Beşiktaş.
Buducnost gained a double-digit advantage early in the derby (24:14 after a little less than seven minutes of play), but it also easily allowed the "students" to reduce the deficit, so at halftime with a 7:0 series, Petar Mijović's team, the favorite, had a point advantage - 46:45.
SC Derbi opened the third period better, leading 54:52, but then the dominance of Andrej Žakelj's team was seen - a 13:0 run followed for a 65:54 lead, which was an announcement of a sure triumph.
Budućnosti had a plus 3 in the 18rd quarter (75:57), and the last reaction was shown by the rival when it came to 84:73. Already after the Žakelja time-out, the Montenegrin champion escaped to 20 or more differences...
The only thing that can worry the "blues" is the potential injury of McKinley Wright, who left the field after slipping awkwardly...
Kenan Kamenjaš was the most effective in Budućnost with 16 points, Wright and Nikola Tanasković scored 14 each, Džuvon Morgan scored 13, and Igor Drobnjak (22) was the bright spot on the other side.
This is how SC Derby tied its third loss, now it is 4-7, and the schedule is getting harder - next are duels with Red Star and Cedevita Olimpia, then with Mega...
