With just 2 seconds left on the game clock, Budućnost VOLI were up by 1 point – 78:77, but Mosley had 2 free-throws... He missed the first one and then scored the second one to tie the game. After that, Budućnost VOLI guard Nikola Ivanović almost drained the full-court 3-pointer at the buzzer.

The final moments of the 1^st overtime were also very thrilling. The score was all tied at 86:86, while Partizan NIS had the final ball-possession. However, Nikola Ivanović managed to steal the ball from Nemanja Jaramaz and to prevent Partizan NIS guard from even taking the last shot.

And you have already seen in the video what happened in the final moments of the 2^nd overtime. Everyone thought that Codi Miller-McIntyre had won the match for Partizan NIS, but it was actually Danilo Nikolić who made the last shot and it was Budućnost VOLI who triumphed at the end.
