Bosna ASA enjoys first win in the final
Bosna ASA BHT grabbed
the first win in the play-off final against Igokea Partizan 84-79. It
was the first meeting ever of these two teams in the final of Bosnian
championship.
The hosts had fantastic support of almost 3.000 their fans in Sarajevo.
It was very tough win for Bosna ASA. Visitors showed better performance
in the first period ending it 21-25 but second quarter belonged to Bosna.
They succeeded to go on the breather with minimum lead. After the half
time both teams started to play more aggressively, especially on the
defensive end. It resulted with totally equalized period 22-22. With
four minutes to go the game was tied 69-69. At the next Bosna's offense
Milijan Bocka (187-G-82) of Igokea committed a personal foul after
what people from Igokea's bench protested to the refs. Bocka made
unusual move then showing three fingers to Bosna's fans, who were very
irritated with this starting to make troubles after what referees
decided to send some of them out of the gym. Ten minutes later the game
was continued. Bosna played these 4 minutes much better and mostly owing
to
Goran Ikonic (196-G-80), who netted 7 points in the row, took 1-0
lead in the final. Lance Williams (206-C-80, college:
De Paul) was the best scorer for the winning team with 27 points. Hero
