Subotica cruise past Wekta in Champions League
Subotica saw off Wekta 96-64 in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, extending their winning momentum with a comprehensive home victory. The Serbian side controlled proceedings from the opening tip, establishing a commanding lead that never wavered throughout the contest.
And here's the thing about this performance — Subotica's shooting efficiency was simply on another level. They converted 33 of 63 field goals for 52 per cent accuracy, while finding the net from eight of their 21 three-point attempts. By contrast, Wekta struggled to find their rhythm, managing just 23 successful shots from 67 attempts and hitting only seven of 29 from beyond the arc.
The rebounding battle told a similar story of dominance. Subotica pulled down 41 boards to Wekta's 31, with their defensive presence particularly strong on the glass. To be fair, the visitors did manage three blocks compared to just one for the hosts, but it wasn't enough to offset the disparity in the paint.
Subotica's ball movement was notably superior, recording 21 assists against Wekta's 11. Their players shared the ball effectively, creating open looks rather than forcing difficult attempts. The home side also committed fewer turnovers, with 12 compared to the visitors' 11, maintaining better control throughout.
What this result means for the standings is straightforward. Subotica remain in second place with six games played, sitting on three victories and three defeats. The 32-point margin of victory suggests they're finding their form at the right time, particularly after their recent loss to Bosna.
For Wekta, the defeat adds to a difficult run of results. They've lost four of their last five matches, including heavy defeats to Bamberg and Frankfurt. The gap between this performance and their recent form is stark, and they'll need to regroup quickly if they want to climb the table.
