For Mornar, Nemanja Gordic had 14 in addition to Johnny Hamilton’s 12 and Isaiah Whitehead’s 11 points.
UNICS took over control from early on as they started the game on a 9-0 run. It seemed as though Mornar’s lineup on the floor just couldn’t get the ball to go in.
Their misses off wide-open shots and layups coupled with the second-chance points but the hosts spelled disaster. UNICS went up by 20 (51-31) at the half and they didn’t look back.
