Game recap: Partizan NIS have won an important battle at home against Tajfun and it hasn't been an easy one. The black and white have managed to crack the opponent no earlier than in the final minute. Sandi Čebular's amazing night and 29 points scored could not prevent the celebration of the home side.

Key moments: Immediately at the beginning of final moment, Danilo Anđušić scored to take Partizan to what seemed to be a safe 5-point lead. However, the fact that Amating Sandi Čebular scored two back to back three pointers in the final minute, made the 60 seconds complicated for the black and white. However, no other than Čebular turned out to be the tragical hero with a missed three pointer with missed three pointer and afterwards even a free throw in last two offensive posessions for Tajfun. Partizan NIS managed to hold on to the lead until the end and they deservedly celebrated the triumph.

Man of the match: Kevin Jones of Partizan NIS missed the double double by only one rebound, as he finished the game with 17 points and nine rebounds. He was a dominant force under the glass throughout his 30 minutes spent on court and deserved himself the man of the match honours.

Can't trick the stats: Since the teams were pretty equal in all statistical categories - in many Tajfun was even better, we can point out the difference in three point shooting successfullness, as the main difference between the two sides this time - Partizan NIS scored 33% of them (7/21), compared to 28% of Tajfun. Due to a low margin at the end, this may well have been one of the reasons fort he final outcome.
