Key moments: Mega Bemax were already up by 19 points in the 12th minute, but Igokea managed to come up with a major comeback in the third quarter, which has even brought them the lead. It remained anybody’s game all until the 37th minute, when the score was still tied at 76:76. However, that’s when Mega Bemax’ 10:0 run, completed by a furious dunk by Edin Atić, followed over the next 2 minutes, which got them ahead 86:76. The battle for a pair of points was over.
