Danilovgrad's basketball players achieved their second away win of the season - in the 11th round of the First A Montenegrin League, they celebrated tonight in Cetinje against Lovćen 75:70. This is the fourth consecutive defeat in the championship for coach Petar Jovanović's team, after they opened the season with six wins.

After Danilovgrad's better start, Lovćen soon took control, although not by too much of a margin. After a brief turnaround by the visitors in the second quarter, Cetinje played better again and ended the half with a 9:0 run for a 46:36 lead. The game was played in series, and Danilovgrad managed to tie the game and quickly take the lead 65:63, with less than five minutes left. Lovćen managed to come within a point of the deficit on two occasions, but failed to prevent their second home defeat in a row.

Podgorica Bemax achieved an important triumph, on their home court against Dečić - 83:72. Coach Miodrag Kadija's team was focused from the start and already in the first quarter reached a double-digit lead (26:11), which the guests only reduced by halftime (44:36).

However, Podgorica was more confident in the rest of the game and maintained a double-digit lead almost the entire time, and the most that Decic managed to reduce was to a six-point deficit in the third, and then a seven-point deficit in the final quarter.
