Jack Animam had another stellar outing after lifting the SPD Radnicki basketball team to an 81-72 win over Duga in Serbia’s First Women’s Basketball League.
Fresh off a dominant performance in their last game, Animam raised her game to another level as she dazzled her way to another double-double with 28 huge points, 15 rebounds, six assists, five blocks, and three steals.
Aside from her monstrous stat-line, Animam also boasted an efficient outing from the field.
The former multi-champion with National University (NU) only managed to miss two shots out of her 15 total attempts, one of her most efficient finishes as an Asian import overseas.
Animam was perfect from the field in the first 20 minutes of the ball game as she sank all of her seven shots that sparked a huge offensive run for Radnicki.
However, Duga’s resiliency stood out in the second half and cut Radnicki’s lead to just two, 68-66, in the final canto.
Just when Duga thought they can keep up with Radnicki, Animam began to operate in the paint and put up some points for a quick 8-0 burst and never looked back for the much-needed win.
A huge test will be standing Radnicki’s way as Animam and the rest of the team will face the surging Vrsac squad on October 30.
