We have achieved the main goal of the club and thatis to  play ABA league next season.Team responded good after the defeat of the Metalac, because we won in three tough matches. FMP is embarrassing unpleasant team that when they open match good, they can beat everyon. I was afraid that they do not play at the start but we played aggressively and quickly. We went on a 10-point lead and after that we held. It’s a long season but this far to over. We have the highest possible ambitions in the playoffs. We will play probably against Crvena zvezda, which is the favorite but against which we played this season, three games to one ball. I hope that luck is going to be on our side now”.
