The tenth consecutive defeat for the Mornar basketball team, another in a row in the AdmiralBet ABA League that could have been "drawn" before the game even started.
The surprise was not realistic and did not happen - Barani convincingly lost to Red Star Belgrade (110:69) in "Topolica" in a duel that had a tempo that seemed like it was a showpiece.
The home team had two good reactions to the current champion's double-digit lead in the first half, but the difference in quality was so great that Red Star, playing at a slow pace and using all 12 players, had a plus of 20 after 17 minutes - 54:37.
In the rest, Red Star played as much as it needed to and went to 30 and then 40 plus, while Mornar just tried not to experience a debacle, because it has long been clear that Mihailo Pavićević's team cannot seek triumphs against rivals who play in the Euroleague or Eurocup...
The home team had only four scorers for almost 25 minutes (Čiko Karter, Lovro Buljević, Lovre Runjić and Brenden Jenkins), and later 22-year-old Luka Radetić had a good role, finishing the match with seven points.
The Montenegrin representative will be visiting Cedevita Olimpija in the next round, and will be an underdog in Ljubljana, and after that there will be games in which they will have to show more if they want to move from the last position in the table.
After the duel with Zvezdan Mitrović's team, there will be matches with Mega, Borac, Spartak, and direct rival Cibona, which has one more win - this is where the season for Mornar ends.
