There are only two more rounds left in the Regular Season in Erste Liga. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
Sixth-ranked Lovcen (8-12) used its home court advantage to challenge first ranked Sutjeska (18-2) in Cetinje on Friday. The visitors from Niksic managed to secure only three-point victory 80-77. However their fans expected much easier game. 25 personal fouls committed by Lovcen helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for the former international power forward Radosav Spasojevic (204-1992, agency: PEPI SPORT) who led his team to a victory with 21 points and 7 rebounds. Serbian guard Nikola Kocovic (197-1996, agency: Tolakh Tsimur) contributed with 9 points and 8 assists for the winners. Sutjeska’s coach Dragan Nikolic used entire bench in such tough game. Milos Latkovic (196-1993) replied with 17 points and 6 assists for Lovcen. Sutjeska have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 18-2 record. Lovcen lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with 12 games lost. They share the position with Kotor. Sutjeska are looking forward to face Teodo (#3) in Tivat in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Lovcen will play on the road against Ibar in Rozaje and is hoping to prove to their fans that they can break losing series.
The game between fifth ranked SC Derby (14-6) and 11th ranked Jedinstvo (6-13) in Podgorica ended with biggest points difference. SC Derby outscored guests from Bijelo Polje 91-59. Worth to mention a quality performance of the former international Zoran Vuceljic (197-2003) who helped to win the game recording 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and Aubrey Dawkins who added 19 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. The best for the losing side was Serbian center Luka Majstorovic (208-1996, college: Embry Riddle) with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. SC Derby have an impressive five-game winning streak. They moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Primorje 1945. Jedinstvo at the other side keeps the eleventh position with 13 games lost.
