Game recap: Mega Bemax continue chasing the top of the standings, as they have achieved their fifth win of the season in their ninth game and now have just as many as Cedevita and Partizan NIS, which shared the third position ahead of this round. The Belgrade side have cracked the resistance of Mega Bemax in the second part of the game and have deservedly kept the two points at home. For the visiting side, this is the sixth defeat of the season, which keeps them in the lower half of the standings.

Key moments: In the 27th minute Mega Bemax were in the lead for the last time in the game (67:65). However, that’s when FMP went on a 4-minutes long 13:0 run, which turned the game around and gave them a 78:67 lead. With nine minutes left on the clock Mega were in trouble and they did not manage to save themselves until the final buzzer.

Man of the match: Big man Michael Ojo impressed once again, as he had 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, just as many blocks and a steal, for a game-high valuation at his team’s side – 24!

Can't trick the stats: FMP dominated the paint and that’s what turned the game their way. They had 42 rebounds, in comparison to 28 of Mega Bemax.
