Advokatska komora Niša overpower xSy to take control of Corporate Kup opener, 76–53

In a match that steadily swung in one direction, Advokatska komora Niša came away with a convincing 76–53 victory over xSy in the Corporate Kup 2026 on 28 February at OŠ "Ivo Andrić" Niš. What began as a close first quarter turned into a decisive second-half performance, capped by a 19–7 fourth-quarter surge that erased any doubt about the outcome.

The game’s standout was Mladenović Aleksandar, whose clinical finishing and work on the glass defined the contest. He finished 10-of-13 from the field (including 2-of-3 from three) and 3-of-4 from the line for 25 points, to go with 11 rebounds and an efficiency rating of 34. His mid-game scoring—three-pointers and timely two-point buckets—helped stretch his team’s lead and he added a late basket and free throws to put the result beyond reach.

xSy received spirited contributions from a few players but could not match the balance and efficiency opposite them. Petrović Pavle led the scoring for xSy with 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Petrović Petar chipped in 12 points and six rebounds. Milanov Aleksandar collected nine rebounds and added seven points. Despite these efforts, xSy shot inconsistently after the first half and were outscored 31–15 in the decisive periods.

Tactically, Advokatska komora Niša mixed inside presence and perimeter threats effectively. Aside from Mladenović Aleksandar, contributors such as Vućković Aleksandar (9 points, 7 rebounds), Pešić Zoran (8 points, 8 rebounds), and floor general Petrović Aleksa (12 points, 6 assists) provided the supporting production that turned the contest into a team effort. The visitors controlled the glass and created second-chance opportunities while forcing xSy into a string of turnovers and low-percentage shots in the second half.

The scoreline by periods underlines the flow: a tight opening quarter (24–22), a second quarter that nudged Advokatska ahead to 45–38 at halftime, a stretched margin to 57–46 after three quarters, and then the fourth-quarter pullaway to the final 76–53. Key moments included a pair of threes from Mladenović Aleksandar in the first half and a late sequence of buckets and free throws that sealed the win in the final two minutes.

Advokatska komora Niša will take confidence from a balanced, efficient display as the Corporate Kup progresses; xSy will look to regroup around their interior play and rebounding to avoid a repeat of the scoring droughts that cost them tonight.
