Game recap: Both Union Olimpija and Crvena zvezda Telekom had a reason to celebrate in Stožice. Union Olimpija, their fans and legends have remembered their glorious past with retro jerseys, while Crvena zvezda Telekom proved to be the better team on court and grabbed a new pair of points - extremely important for them in the battle for the better position in the forthcoming playoffs. On the other side, the green and white from Ljubljana continue their battle to avoid relegation, since they are still located near the bottom of the standings.

Key moments: Despite the fact that they already were behind by no less than 16 points, Union Olimpija made the game exciting again with 2 minutes remaining on the clock, as they have completed a 12:0 run in their favour. However, unfortunately for their fans, their run stopped there and as Quincy Miller scored a three pointer with a minute left, he shut the crowd in Stožice up. It became clear that the pair of points will not stay at home.

Man of the match: There can be no dilemma - Quincy Miller! Not only did his score the decisive shot, that finally confirmed the outcome of the game, but he also finished it with 25 points, 9 rebounds and an assist, which made him the top scorer and rebounder of the winning side. He also received a valuation of 28 and rightfully became the man of the match.

Can't trick the stats: 37:22. This was the ratio of Zvezda"s rebounds against the ones of Union Olimpija. When a team overrebounds its opponent like this, the outcome can be no different.
