SC Derby basketball players defeated Laktaši in grand style and achieved their third victory of the season in the ABA League, but also their first away win.
"Students" celebrated 94:66 and thus ended a streak of eight defeats in the regional competition.
"This is a very important victory after a period where we had a series of defeats that affected our confidence and performances in previous matches. Certainly the best match of the season and a victory on a field where stronger teams have a hard time winning. I congratulate the boys on an extremely important triumph in our efforts to finally end the crisis situation and get into a situation where we can gain momentum, and in the next round we will be closer to survival," said coach Petar Mijović.
The start was not good, but from the middle of the first quarter onwards, only one team was in control of the field.
"We played well, solidly and smartly, which has not been our habit so far. We started softly, but with the first changes we reacted very well, caught the connection, gained the lead and later maintained it. Igokea is an experienced team, has width, depth and the way it plays defense does not leave much space. We had good situations from the racket and in the three-point shot, which was the result of team play. This is an indicator that we can play at a serious level," Mijović emphasized.
