It was a match in which Mornar's basketball players had a chance, as was known in the announcement, but Mihailo Pavićević's team was unable to take advantage of all of Borac's problems.
The weakened team from Cacak defended their home field and inflicted Barani's 13th defeat in a row, and 19th of the season in the AdmiralBet ABA League - 90:71.
It wasn't as convincing as the final score suggests, as Mornar was in the game until the middle of the last quarter, but for the umpteenth time in this campaign, the Montenegrin representative's play "fell apart" when the game was breaking down.
Mornar opened the game better and led 7:2, but from the middle of the first period the home team was constantly in the lead.
Borac was on a double-digit lead, Mornar was coming back, and they didn't lose their heads even at the end of the third quarter when they were down 15 - 68:53.
What followed was a series of 11:0 runs by Pavićević, which brought him to 68:64, and then he stopped - the five on the court made incredible mistakes in defense and offense, so Borac easily went from plus nine to plus 16 (84:44). And closed the game...
Mornar is at the bottom with only one win - Cibona, which is in the relegation zone, has two more triumphs.
