Date: April 14, 2025
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Podgorica. First ranked Montenegrin Buducnost faced second-best Serbian Partizan. Host Buducnost (24-3) defeated guests from Beograd (23-4) 81-77. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Partizan. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Buducnost made 18-of-20 charity shots (90.0 percent) during the game. Partizan was plagued by 25 personal fouls down the stretch. It was a good game for American point guard McKinley Wright IV (182-1998, college: Colorado) who led his team to a victory with 17 points and 6 assists. His fellow American import forward Juwan Morgan (203-1997, college: Indiana) contributed with 14 points for the winners. South Sudanese point guard Carlik Jones (185-1997, college: Louisville) answered with 23 points and Vanja Marinkovic (198-1997, agency: Octagon Europe) added 11 points and 5 rebounds in the effort for Partizan. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Buducnost have an impressive series of five victories in a row. Defending Montenegrin champion maintains first place with 24-3 record. Partizan at the other side keeps the second position with four games lost. Buducnost will play against Krka (#14) in Novo Mesto in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Partizan's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Beograd Crvena zvezda.
