The clash in Split has demonstrated just how exciting ABA League 2 can be, as Borac arrived to Dalmatia with only one defeat suffered so far in the previous six rounds and everyone expected them to grab yet another win, which would put them alone at the top of the standings, but Split squad had other plans.
