Lider Pulls Away Late to Down Felix Zasavje, 76–62

In a hard-fought LWB Senior contest on 6 December 2025 at Sportska dvorana Arena Gradiška, Košarkaški klub Lider outlasted Felix Zasavje 76–62. The game swung on a competitive middle two quarters and an explosive final period that separated the teams.

After a cautious opening quarter that ended 16–14, both sides traded blows in the second period and went into the break knotted at 29–29. The third quarter belonged to the side that would ultimately prevail, with a 19–13 frame giving them a 48–42 edge. But it was the fourth quarter — a 28–20 offensive burst — that sealed the victory.

The match was defined by a commanding performance from Jovičić Emilia, who posted a near triple-double: 26 points (10/15 FG, 1/3 3PT, 5/6 FT), 10 rebounds and 9 assists, finishing with a game efficiency of 37. Her scoring was timely throughout — including a late second-quarter three and a steady stream of two-point finishes in the third and fourth — and her playmaking kept the offense balanced when it mattered most.

Supporting the offensive load, Gvozden Teodora chipped in with 14 points and several decisive baskets in the final quarter, while Drinić Tamara provided a physical presence inside and added 9 points and 6 rebounds, including a momentum-shifting three in the fourth. Čolić Lana also contributed (11 points) with efficient looks that helped sustain the late surge.

On the opposing side, Zagorc Anaja led Felix Zasavje with 19 points and 3 rebounds, keeping her team within reach for much of the contest. Hribljan Ksenja scored 12 and Guzaj Lucija added 9, but the visitors struggled to contain the multiple scoring threats once Lider found rhythm in the fourth quarter.

Critical stretches came midway through the final period. After a brief exchange that produced a 56–56 standoff, a short run of efficient scoring — spearheaded by Jovičić Emilia and answered by interior finishes from Gvozden Teodora and timely contributions from role players — created separation that Felix Zasavje could not overcome. Missed opportunities and turnovers in the final minutes allowed Lider to convert free throws and close the margin decisively.

Statistically the match showed offensive balance from the winners and a reliance on a few go-to scorers for the challengers. The fourth-quarter output (28 points) underscored Lider’s ability to raise tempo and execute in crunch time, a promising sign as the season progresses.

Final score: Košarkaški klub Lider 76, Felix Zasavje 62. Key individual lines: Jovičić Emilia 26 pts, 10 reb, 9 ast; Zagorc Anaja 19 pts; Gvozden Teodora 14 pts.
