Ascalab-Webelinx Games run away with 70-46 victory over Fazi in Corporate Kup

In a game that began as a tight chess match and ended in a decisive finish, Ascalab-Webelinx Games defeated Fazi 70–46 in the Corporate Kup 2026 at OŠ "Ivo Andrić" Niš on 14 March 2026. The contest stayed close through the first half (28–25) before the winners pulled clear across the second half, outscoring their opponents 42–21 after the break.

The decisive stretch came late in the third quarter and exploded in the fourth, where a 24–9 run closed the contest. That spurt was the product of disciplined offense and physical rebounding, as well as a string of high-percentage finishes that punished Fazi for missed opportunities earlier in the game.

The standout was Tričković Milan, who finished with 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting, hauled in 12 rebounds (including 5 offensive), added 2 steals and drew four fouls while posting an efficiency index of 26. His presence inside and on the offensive glass consistently tipped possession value in his team’s favor and earned him player-of-the-game honors.

On the other side, Nešić Vuk answered with a 28-point night, doing much of the scoring heavy lifting for Fazi on 12-of-30 shooting with 7 rebounds and 4 assists. His scoring kept Fazi in striking distance through three quarters, but the lack of efficient secondary scoring and turnovers at critical moments blunted any comeback attempt.

Secondary contributions were crucial for the winners. Živanović Miša added 15 points and 12 rebounds, including timely outside shooting that helped stretch the defense. Grahovac Pavle supplied 9 points, with a key three-pointer in the third that helped maintain the margin as the game shifted. Playmaking came from Arsić Aleksandar, who finished with five assists, while energy plays from Sretković Nikola on the glass and in the paint added balance to the attack.

Fazi had flashes of offense—two separate sequences where they took the lead in the second quarter—and individual efforts kept them competitive. Still, penalties and a technical foul shown to Ristić Ilija undermined rhythm at times, and several players struggled with efficiency from distance. Defensive lapses in the final quarter allowed too many second-chance points and easy finishes, which sealed the outcome.

For Ascalab-Webelinx Games, the victory is a statement of depth and execution under pressure; they turned a close halftime into a controlled finish by tightening on the glass and converting in transition. For Fazi, the game is a reminder that a single prolific scorer is rarely enough without consistent support on offense and cleaner ball-handling.

Both teams will take lessons from the contest as the Corporate Kup 2025/26 progresses. Ascalab-Webelinx Games will look to build on the balance they showed today, while Fazi must find more reliable scoring partners and shore up late-game defense if they are to respond in the coming rounds.
