Game recap: Partizan Mozzart Bet have demonstrated a strong performance, as they have prevailed over SC Derby at home in their Štark Arena in Belgrade, earning themselves a revenge for the ABA Super Cup Final defeat in Morača Sports Hall back in September. For the black and white, this is the 8th win of the season and with an 8:3 record, they are now sharing the third place in the standings, together with Budućnost VOLI and Cedevita Olimpija. On the other side, SC Derby are on a 6:5 record, just above the edge of the Playoffs Zone, still right where they wish to find themselves at the end of the Regular Season.

Key moments: Partizan Mozzart Bet have entered the game with a flying start, as they have created a 12:0 run immediately at the opening of the game. They went on to increase their advantage and after 10 minutes of play, they have already been in front by 18 points (31:13). There was no way back into the game for SC Derby.

Man of the match: Alen Smailagić put on an exceptional performance, as he led his team to the win over SC Derby. He had 18 points (3/5 for 3 points), 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and a valuation of 20 in only 12 minutes spent on court. He is our man of the match.

Can’t trick the stats: Partizan Mozzart Bet have been on fire from beyond the arc. They have been shooting 3-pointers 12/25 (48%) and that’s what earned them a comfortable win over the Podgorica squad.
