Man of the match: Nikola Jevtović of Metalac Farmakom was unstoppable this time around as he led his team in scoring with 16 points and in rebounding with 8 boards, while adding 2 steals and one assist and block each. He is our man of the match.
Can"t trick the stats: It is not typical for such an experienced team, but Igokea delivered no less than 20 turnovers during the game. This is for sure the critical fact that decided the flow of the game.
