The crisis is obvious, the losing streak of the SC Derby basketball players continued in the last match in 2024.
"Students" experienced their sixth failure in a row in a duel with Mega (82:77), so after 14 rounds in the AdmiralBet ABA League, they have only four wins - the last one they achieved on November 11, when they beat Mornar in "Morača".
In the same place, Mega reached the triumph thanks to much better energy in the second half, even though Petr Mijović's team had a lead of seven points (51:44) in the opening part of the third period and a chance to go to a double-digit plus.
But, from that moment on, Derbi stopped attacking, relied on individual solutions, and when it lost its aggressiveness in defense, it was clear that the guests from Belgrade had the rhythm to make a turnaround.
After 30 minutes, SC Derbi was at minus one, and in the last quarter, it allowed a series of offensive jumps to the rival, which left it with no chance to believe that it can end the series of defeats.
The last spurt came with a minute and 38 to go when Eric Neal made a three-pointer to reduce the score to 78:75, but already in the next action, Mega had three jumps in the attack before Mihailo Petrović scored for 80:75...
