FMP - CEDEVITA 71:80 (13:18, 19:15, 12:16, 27:31)
Game recap: Cedevita are returning from Belgrade with just the same outcome as they have been planning, as they have beaten FMP on the road and have celebrated a win against their rivals for the second time this season. This is the ninth triumph of the Vitamins this season, which keeps them in the race for the very top of the standings, with only one triumph less on their record as their rivals of Budućnost VOLI. On the other side, FMP continue the season with 5 wins and are now not in the Playoffs zone anymore.
Key moments: It was a close game all until the very end of the 3rd quarter, when Džanan Musa scored a difficult fade-away shot with the buzzer, to put his team up 49:44. Since then, Cedevita haven’t let go of their lead and when Demetris Nichols scored a 3-pointer in 35th minute, the guests were leading 63:54. There was no hope of return for the hosts anymore.
Man of the match: Even though young, Džanan Musa is already a true leader of Cedevita. He led them to the victory once again, as he had 12 points, 2 steals, 1 rebound and a valuation of 17 in less than 20 minutes spent on court.
Can't trick the stats: FMP had 14 turnovers this game and Cedevita only had 5. That’s what decided the outcome of the game in the end!
