Jahorina didn’t wait around for drama. From the opening tip Friday, they set the tone with a 23-point first quarter, stacked another 19 in the second, and rode that early separation to a 74-61 win over Donji Vakuf - Promo at Sportska Dvorana Peki.
The result moved Jahorina forward from a 14-9 record entering the night, and it came in the kind of clean, workmanlike script that good home teams write: win the first half, keep control in the third, then absorb the late push.
Game flow: first-half separation, controlled finish
Jahorina’s advantage was built immediately. They won the first quarter 23-14, then widened the gap with a 19-12 second period to take a 42-26 lead into halftime. That 16-point margin shaped the rest of the night — Donji Vakuf - Promo had to chase, and Jahorina could dictate.
Donji Vakuf - Promo showed life after the break, taking the fourth quarter 18-14 and narrowing the optics late, but the game’s hinge was the middle. Jahorina’s 18-17 edge in the third quarter mattered: it prevented any real momentum swing and kept the lead comfortably in double figures heading to the final period.
Ball movement tells the story
With limited box-score detail available, the clearest separator sits in the assist column. Jahorina finished with 16 assists to Donji Vakuf - Promo’s 9 — a meaningful gap that aligns with how the game played out. Jahorina’s offense generated enough structure to score 42 points before halftime, while Donji Vakuf - Promo spent most of the night trying to manufacture answers against a set defense.
Turning point: the second-quarter squeeze
The game’s defining stretch came in the second quarter. Jahorina won it 19-12, pushing the halftime margin to 16. In a matchup where Donji Vakuf - Promo needed to keep possessions tight and pressure the scoreboard, that seven-point quarter swing effectively shifted the game into “protect the lead” territory for the home side.
What it means going forward
For Jahorina, this was the kind of stabilizing home win that matters in a season rhythm — especially after arriving with a WWLLL form line. They didn’t need overtime, didn’t need a late miracle, and they didn’t let the opponent’s late fourth-quarter push change the outcome.
For Donji Vakuf - Promo, who came in at 8-14 with a LWWLL run, the path was clear: win early minutes or risk playing uphill all night. They couldn’t do it. The late surge was a response, not a takeover, and the first half left too much ground to recover.
