Game recap: What a game! Cibona have prevailed over Partizan in overtime in a truly fantastic game, while this was their 1st win against the black-and-whites in Belgrade since 2009. And there is no need telling you how important this win is for Cibona as the Wolves are trying very hard to move as far as possible from the 13th spot on the standings which leads into Promotion/Relegation round.

Partizan NIS now have the overall score of 7-12, while Cibona are at 7-11.

Key moments: Both sides had chances to win the match at the end. Ognjen Jaramaz missed the game-winning shot for Partizan NIS at the 4th quarter buzzer as his 3-point attempt was not good, while it is really hard to describe everything that has happened in the final moments of overtime.

Cibona have been in front throughout most of the 5-minute period, but then, just 15 seconds before the end when the visitors were up by 2 points – 89:87, one of their best players from today’s match Roko Prkačin made a huge mistake. He passed the ball right in the hands of Ognjen Jaramaz and Partizan NIS suddenly got a chance to win the game or at least tie the score. However, the home team players did not even take the shot as Rashawn Thomas was called for traveling just 2 seconds before the end. In the remaining time, Mateo Drežnjak made one out of two free throws to seal the win for Cibona – 90:87.

Man of the match: Cibona’s 21-year old shooting guard Toni Nakić was on fire tonight! He scored 23 points, including 7 three-pointers, while he also managed to tie the score late in the 4th quarter and to help his team force overtime in this match. His overall index rating was 28.

Can’t trick the stats: This was not the best shooting night for Partizan NIS players. They were 9-30 for 3-points, while they also missed 8 free throws.
