OIP Insurtech pull away to a 60-47 victory over Leoni in CLN 3
In a match that set the tone early and never let up, OIP Insurtech stamped its authority with a 60-47 win over Leoni in Round 9 of the CLN 3 season (2025/26) at OŠ "Ivo Andrić" Niš on 2025-11-30. The final score reflects a game defined by disciplined defense, measured offense and a pair of standout individual performances.
The contest was effectively decided in the first half. OIP Insurtech raced to a 17-7 first-quarter lead and extended the margin to 35-17 by halftime, forcing Leoni to chase for the remainder of the game. Leoni showed resistance with a stronger third quarter and some late scoring, but could not erase the early deficit.
At the center of OIP Insurtech’s attack was Milanovic Veljko, who delivered a performance of the night: 34 points on 13-of-21 shooting (61.9%), including 3-of-6 from long range and 5-of-11 at the line. He combined efficiency with aggressiveness, drawing eight fouls and repeatedly converting in key moments — his scoring barrage kept the visitors comfortably ahead through the second half and capped a dominant offensive outing (efficiency 28).
Complementing that scoring was a true all-around showing from Tonić Bogdan. Bogdan finished with 13 points but the box score tells a fuller story: 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks (efficiency 29). His physicality on the glass and defensive presence helped control second-chance opportunities and blunted several Leoni advances.
Leoni had bright spots in its bid to climb back. Mladenović Predrag paced his side with 14 points and produced late buckets that narrowed the gap in the closing minute, while Pešić Marko gave repeated sparks from deep, drilling triples that fueled a third-quarter push. Đokić Aleksandar also hauled in a game-high rebound count for his team and contributed on the interior, but the collective shortfall in the opening half proved decisive.
The result underlines OIP Insurtech’s ability to blend a go-to scorer with complementary, high-impact role play. For Leoni, the lesson is clear: overcome early miscues and secure consistency across quarters if they want to reverse such outcomes later in the season.
