Leotar Trebinje secured a narrow 68-60 victory over Promo 68 in the Bosnian Championship on Friday evening. The home side held their nerve after a tight contest that saw momentum shift between the two sides. The result keeps Leotar in sixth place while Promo remain tenth in the standings.
Both teams arrived with mixed recent form. Leotar had won their previous outing 85-75 against Slavija, while Promo suffered a heavy 65-86 defeat to Zrinjski Mostar. To be fair, the gap in confidence was visible from the opening minutes, though neither side dominated comfortably.
The match itself lacked fireworks but delivered atmosphere. Leotar's defenders worked hard to contain Promo's attacking threats, while the home side's offence proved clinical when opportunities arose. And here's the thing — this wasn't a game decided by one brilliant moment, but by consistency over the full duration.
The outcome validates the prediction of a home victory. Leotar's familiarity with their own court made a difference, particularly in the closing stages when the away side pushed for a comeback. By then, the home side had built enough of a cushion to see it out.
With this win, Leotar maintain their position six points clear of seventh place. Promo's defeat extends their losing streak and leaves them four points from safety. Neither team has much room for error as the season progresses.
