Game recap: We had another basketball thriller in ABA League! Igokea prevailed over Zadar after scoring 1 free-throw in the last second of the match! Before that Mislav Brzoja made a sensational two-pointer for the visitors and tied the score, with less than a second left on game clock. But, Zadar squad then made a huge mistake in defense as they made foul on Blaž Mahkovic, who made 1 free-thrown and brought a valuable win to Igokea.

Key moments: There was 0,6 seconds left on the game clock, the score was tied at 77:77, while Igokea called for a time-out. Therefore, the home team had a throw-in from the Zadar's side of the court. The plan was to send an alley-oop pass for Blaž Mahkovic who was guarded by Jakov Vladović... Vladović placed his hands on Mahkovic, while trying to prevent the pass... He made a foul and Mahkovic got two free-throws! As we have previously mentioned, Igokea player made the 1st free-throw, missed the 2nd one, but he still brought a win to his team - 78:77.

Man of the match: This was certainly the best game of Djordje Milošević in this season. He made 15 points, with a perfect 2pts shooting percentage (7/7), while he also had 8 rebounds. His overall index rating was 24.

Can't trick the stats: That one foul and one made free-throw made the difference at the end.
