Alkar beat Zrinjski Mostar 92-87 on Tuesday evening in the European Basketball League. The away side took all three points from the contest, adding to their growing tally of results this campaign. By then the visitors had already established themselves as a team capable of competing with anyone in the league.
Alkar sit seventh in the table after eight games, with three wins and five losses to their name. They have not won since their last outing, but this result suggests they are finding their rhythm at the right time. The support of the fans could be called devoted, but that is an assessment, not a fact. The fact is that the club sits top of the table
Recent form has been mixed for both sides. Alkar came off a 78-84 defeat to Cibona Zagreb on September 27th, while Zrinjski have been involved in a string of close encounters — their last five games have all been decided by single digits.
What stands out is that Alkar have opened talks about their objectives for the season, though nothing has been confirmed publicly. They turned it around after the break, showing enough composure to see it out against a determined home side.
The result leaves Alkar with 3 wins from 8 matches, which places them mid-table but within striking distance of the playoff positions. Zrinjski, meanwhile, remain where they were before kickoff — fighting for consistency rather than glory.
