The visitors played a stunning 1st half in which they scored 50 points and gained a +20 lead – 50:30, while in the final moments they had enough concentration to stay in front of their rivals.
Key moments: The 1st half definitely made difference this evening, however despite the score at the big break was 50:30 for Mega Bemax, we had a thrilling ending! Igokea have managed to reduce the margin to just 3 points – 83:80, with 2 minutes remaining on the game clock, but then Vlatko Čančar scored 4 consecutive points for Mega Bemax and denied the hosts in their attempt of a major comeback.
Man of the match: Goga Bitadze! Mega Bemax wonderkid has reached another double-double by scoring 13 points and having 10 rebounds. His overall index rating was 23.
Can’t trick the stats: It is just extremely difficult to win the match if you are down by 20 points at the halftime. That is what happened to Igokea this evening and that is why they stayed empty-handed in the match against Mega Bemax.
