ABA League 2, Round 2, Thursday, 13 October 2021:
HELIOS SUNS - Spars 83:77 (19:27, 23:14, 17:21, 24:15)
Helios Suns have grabbed their first win of the ABA League 2 season, as they have prevailed over Spars in the second round of the ABA League 2 season at the Regular Season Tournament in Zlatibor.
With less than 4 minutes into the game, Spars have already been up in double digits, leading 12:2, as Remy Abell scored a three-pointer. As it turned out later in the game, this hasn’t been crucial for the game’s outcome, as Helios Suns have turned it completely upside-down before halftime.
In the second time, the two squads have again been exchanging their leads a couple of times, but Helios Suns made the decisive step towards the win in the final quarter, when they went up by 9 points (79:70) with less than 3 minutes remaining on the game clock.
The final score was 83:77 in favour of the Domžale squad.
