After Studentski centar and Spars, Borac Banja Luka is the 3rd team to qualify for the 2021 ABA League 2 Playoffs!

Borac Banja Luka defeated Rabotnički this Tuesday evening in a thrilling game in which the winner was decided in the final minute. But, before getting to that final-minute thriller, let's say that Borac banja Luka had a 17-point lead late in the 3rd quarter! At that moment it seemed that this would be an easy win for the boys coached by Dragan Nikolić, however Rabotnički had some different plans. The team from Skopje pulled off an incredible 4th quarter comeback as they managed to take the lead with 1 minute remaining on the game clock – 77:76.

And then, Borac Banja Luka star player Nikola Tanasković stepped up for his team. Tanasković made the key 3-pointer to get his team in front again – 79:77, while after Rabotnički players missed some very difficult shots, Draško Knežević and, once again, Nikola Tanasković made 3 free throws combined to seal the win for Borac - 82:77.
