Game recap: After losing the opening match of the new season on a pretty unlucky way, FMP have managed to rise again and to collect two wins in a row! Recall that the squad coached by Slobodan Klipa defeated the reigning vice-champions Mega Leks in the previous round, while today they overpowered Krka on the road. The Panthers presented excellent defense in 2nd and in the 3rd quarter, which brought them crucial lead in this match.

Key moments: FMP had +10 on minute and a half before the end - 66:56 - but Krka scored 5 points in just 20 seconds and reduced the margin to 66:61. FMP called for a time-out, then managed to keep the ball in their possiesion despite being under big pressure from the defense, while finally Filip Čović scored a very difficult three-pointer and pushed his team to 69:61. It was the decisive basket.

Man of the match: Stefan Lazarević finished the match with double-double achievement! He had 12 points and 13 rebounds, which brought him the overall index rating of 19.

Can't trick the stats: It seems that Krka insisted on 3pts shots too much this evening. Yes, they scored 10 three-pointers, but they made only 10 two-pointers!
