ABA League 3rd round, Wednesday, 7.10.2015:
Union Olimpija - SUTJESKA 60:61

Game recap: Newcomers Sutjeska have managed to beat Union Olimpija in the third round of the ABA League, which is their first win ever in the regional competition. With this success they have tied themselves with the beaten opponent in the standings with one victory each.

Key moments: Two minutes before the end of the first half, the score was tied at 28:28, but the home side allowed a 7:0 run to the visitors until break, which was extended to 10:0 after the break. Even though Union Olimpija fought hard in the remaining minutes of the game, took the one point lead with 4 seconds remaining, but Nemanja Vranješ managed to score in the final second with a floater and gave his team the historical win.

Man of the match: Of course it is Nemanja Vranješ. Not only for that game winning shot, but also because of his important contribution throughout the game. He was the top scorer of his team with 18 points and has also grabbed 5 rebounds. For sure he was the key piece in Dušan Dubljević's puzzle.

Can't trick the stats: Although they did not shine in many categories, the most important detail, that buried Union Olimpija's chances of achieving the second win of the season was poor free throw execution - 36% (5/14).
