Cedevita Olimpija - FMP 89:92 (18:18, 23:16, 22:20, 14:23 12:15)
Game recap: In the last game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 3, FMP have prevailed over Cedevita Olimpija after an overtime thriller on the road in Stožice Arena, Ljubljana. FMP have come back from being down in double digits and have prevailed eventually after an extra five minutes of play. This way, FMP have tied themselves in the standings with the Ljubljana squad, each of them having 2 wins and a defeat after 3 games played so far and are now positioned just below the very top of the standings, where now Cibona and Partizan NIS stand alone with 3 wins and not a single defeat.
Key moments: Even though FMP have been down with a double-digit number of points, they have managed to take the game in overtime, where they have quickly created themselves an 81:77 lead with a 4:0 run right at the beginning of the extra period. In the remainder of overtime, Cedevita Olimpija tried their best to turn it upside-down, but just did not manage to do so and FMP became the first to beat the Dragons this season in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
Man of the match: Marko Pavićević has had an excellent performance for FMP this time around, as he had 14 points, 5 rebounds and a valuation of 18, as he led his team to the win. He is our man of the match!
Can’t trick the stats: The two teams might have been similar in many statistical categories, but FMP played as a team and that’s what earned them a pair of points. They had 18 assists and Cedevita Olimpija only 9 and that’s been the key difference between the two sides.
