MEGA SUPERBET JUNIORS DOMINATE JOVENTUT TO KICK OFF BARCELONA TOURNAMENT

The under 18 Mega Superbet team is taking part in the traditional “Ciutat de L’Hospitalet” tournament in Barcelona, and they opened the event with a convincing 94-76 win over Joventut (33-18, 17-8, 26-24, 18-26). Dejan Pejić’s team started the game in style, flooding the opponent’s basket in the opening quarter, then tightened their defense in the second to build a 24-point lead by halftime. The Badalona side couldn’t mount a comeback in the third period, and the outcome was clear after 30 minutes of play.

The top scorer for Mega Superbet was Nikola Karalić with 14 points, followed by Benjamin Teletović with 13. Most valuable for Pejić’s squad was Đorđe Lilć, who added 10 points, 8 rebounds, and a PIR of 19. Vuk Stepanović and Aleksa Stiković contributed 12 points each, while Lun Jarc scored 11 points with 8 rebounds.
