NLB ABA League 2, Group C Round 1, Wednesday, October 2, 2024:
Podgorica - JOKER 76:79 (18:26, 22:22, 22:11, 14:20)
Joker have started their first ever NLB ABA League 2 campaign in the best possible way as they seized an away win against Podgorica.
The Sombor crew have been constantly in front during the first half, yet then Podgorica won the 3rd quarter by 22:11 and took over the lead ahead of the final 10 minutes – 62:59.
But, the league newcomers were not ready to give up on their first ever NLB ABA League 2 win so easily. The visitors opened the 4th quarter with a 13:3 run to once again get in front – 65:72, while in the rest of the match they survived all attempts of Podgorica of making a comeback.
The hosts had two chances to tie the score, but each time they missed the big 3-point shots. Firstly at the score of 71:74 when Jack Gohlke missed his 3-point attempt, while then at the score of 74:77 when Joshua Scott missed his 3-point shot that would have tied the score just 4 seconds before the end.
