Ascalab-Webelinx Games Grind Out 57-46 Victory Over Codeus/Nistruct
Defense set the tone as Ascalab-Webelinx Games eked out a 57-46 win against Codeus/Nistruct in a low-scoring CLN 3 contest. The visitors never found a consistent offensive rhythm, while the winners turned crisp defense and timely inside scoring into a first-half advantage they would never relinquish.
The scoreboard told the story from the opening quarter: a 15-9 start built momentum, and a 17-point second period pushed the margin into double digits. The third quarter levelled out at 11-11, and although the final stanza saw a late push, the earlier cushion was more than enough to close the game.
Leading the way was Tričković Milan, who produced a steady, all-around game — 14 points on efficient shooting, 8 rebounds and an 18 efficiency rating. He was especially effective inside down the stretch, converting key two-pointers and free throws that helped ice the result.
Support came from a balanced corps: Sretković Nikola scored 10 points and channeled second-chance opportunities with 4 offensive rebounds and 4 assists; Milanov Luka added 10 points, 8 rebounds and an eye-catching 5 steals that disrupted passing lanes; and Grahovac Pavle provided perimeter punch with a 2-of-4 night from long range for 8 points. The early back-to-back triples from Ristovski Nikola gave his side a spark in the opening minutes.
On the other sideline, Stefanović Borislav was a singular offensive force, finishing with 20 points and 11 rebounds while going 8-for-10 at the free-throw line. Novićević Miloš chipped in with 14 points and 6 rebounds, and Todorović Nikola supplied a couple of timely triples, but their contributions weren’t enough to overturn the deficit created through the middle quarters.
Moments in the fourth suggested a possible rally, as Stefanović Borislav and Majstorović Todor pushed inside scoring to narrow the gap, but defensive stops and crucial conversions by Tričković Milan and Milanov Luka prevented any late drama. Turnover numbers and missed looks from beyond the arc limited Codeus/Nistruct’s comeback chances.
Ultimately, this was a game won in the halfcourt: disciplined defense, effective rebound work and a few high-percentage finishes in the paint separated the two sides. The victory keeps Ascalab-Webelinx Games moving forward in the early part of the 2025/26 CLN 3 season, while Codeus/Nistruct will look to tighten its offensive execution in the games ahead.
