Key moments: Igokea players managed to cope with the pressure of Cedevita's defense until 11th minute, when they were in front 17:16. However, after that they failed to score a single point for no less than 7 minutes and allowed the home side a 12:0 run, which was enough to secure themselves a safe lead, that they did not endanger for real at any point of the remainder of the game.

Man of the match: With an all-around performance Luka Babić led the way towards the victory for his team this game - 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 points were enough to earn himself the award fort he best player of the game.

Can't trick the stats: Igokea shot as many as 31 three point shots, but managed to score only 7 (23%). It was evident than incapability to cope with opponent's centers was the main problem this game for Željko Lukajić's side. Since the only remaining weapon - outside shooting did not work, they were left without a chance.
