Kranjska Gora - Jesenice overpower Košarkaški klub Lider in decisive LWB Senior win

The scoreboard left little doubt: Košarkaški klub Lider 52 — Kranjska Gora - Jesenice 88. What began as a competitive opening quarter quickly unraveled into a one-sided affair as Kranjska Gora - Jesenice produced sustained pressure and clinical shooting to pull away in the second half.

After the first period ended 15–12 in favor of Lider, the visitors responded with a 26–12 second quarter to seize control and carry a 38–27 lead into the break. The third quarter saw that advantage balloon further — a 25–12 quarter that turned the game into a rout — and a matching 25–13 final stanza sealed a comprehensive victory.

The star of the evening was Nejla Aličić, whose balanced scoring and perimeter touch (7-of-14 from the floor, including 4-of-10 from three) produced 20 points and six rebounds. Her efficiency and willingness to shoot from distance repeatedly punished the defense and helped keep the scoreboard rolling through the critical middle quarters.

But the biggest scoring burden fell on Uma Ramić, who poured in a game-high 27 points on 12-of-21 two-point attempts. Ramić’s inside scoring and constant movement created mismatches and second-chance opportunities; she also grabbed five defensive rebounds. The one blemish on her box score was free-throw shooting — 3-of-12 from the line — but the overall impact was undeniable as she paced the attack.

Lider had bright spots in defeat. Teodora Gvozden led her side with 17 points (including multiple late three-pointers) and frequent attempts that kept her team on the attack, while Tamara Drinić contributed 12 points and steady play in the paint. Emilia Jovičić added a well-rounded line — 10 points, six rebounds and five assists — showing leadership even as the scoreboard slipped away.

Kranjska Gora - Jesenice’s supporting cast chipped in when it mattered: Ana Požar finished with 10 points, Anja Bolte and Tara Railić each gave timely contributions, and Kristina Mladenov and Lea Višić hit big shots from distance to keep the pressure on. The team’s balanced scoring and ability to sustain runs proved the decisive factor.

Defensively, the winners tightened their grip after the break, forcing turnovers and converting transition opportunities into easy points. Offensively they played with tempo and clarity, while Lider struggled to find consistent answers beyond late individual efforts.

For Košarkaški klub Lider this is a tough learning moment; for Kranjska Gora - Jesenice it’s a resounding statement early in the LWB Senior season. The margin of victory and the manner in which the game tilted after halftime will be talking points for both teams as they prepare for the next round.
