Game recap: In the second game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Semi-finals, Budućnost VOLI have bounced back after the defeat in the Game 1, and beaten Partizan NIS at home in their Morača Sports Hall. This means that the series will be extended for Game 3, that will take place in Aleksandar Nikolić Sports Hall in Belgrade. In a fantastic atmosphere in front of 4550 fans in Morača Sports Hall, the hosts have been in front almost throughout the game and after Partizan NIS have almost made a major comeback in the final quarter, Vladimir Micov Stepped up for the game-winning three-pointer.  And the crowd went wild!

Key moments: Budućnost VOLI were already ahead by as many as 13 points in the third quarter and it seemed like they would cruise to an easy win, but Partizan NIS fought back and as the two sides entered the final two minutes of the game, the margin between them was only 1 points (65:64). It remained anybody’s game until the end from that moment and as Dallas Moore gave Partizan NIS a 2-point lead with 21 seconds to go in the game, it seemed like the black and white would advance to the Finals after 2 games already. However, Vladimir Micov had different plans. In the final second of the game, he fired from beyond the arc and gave Budućnost VOLI a win and a decisive third game of the series.

Man of the match: Vladimir Micov might have been Budućnost VOLI’s hero this time around, but it has been Petar Popović, that has been the key to their excellent performance this time. He had 15 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal and a valuation of 19 and is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Budućnost VOLI have outrebounded Partizan NIS 32:28 this time and this has been just enough to earn them the win and the tie in the Semi-final series.
