ABA League 2 Round 3, Wednesday, 16.10.2019:
SUTJESKA - Sloboda 73:70 (16:19, 14:19, 28:17, 15:15)
For the second time in this season the crowd in Nikšić witnessed a real basketball thriller. And once again the fans left the gym with a smile on their face, as Sutjeska scored another narrow win.
After beating Novi Pazar in the opening round, this time Sutjeska defeated Sloboda to keep the perfect record at home court. On the other side, the visitors are still waiting for their first win in this season.
Speaking about the visitors, they simply made too many mistakes. Sloboda had 20 turnovers, while in the final moments they missed two key shots. Firstly, at the score 71:69 for the hosts, Amar Gegić missed one free throw and therefore failed to tie the score, while in the last seconds of the match Sani Čampara missed the three pointer that could have taken this game into overtime.
