In the last game on schedule in the NLB ABA League 2 on Tuesday night, TFT Mozzart Skopje have prevailed over Cedevita Junior and achieved their first win of the season.

During the game, the two squads have exchanged the lead several times. The last time, that the game has been close, was 7 minutes before the end, when TFT Mozzart Skopje were in front by a point (61:60).

As it turned out later in the game, Cedevita Junior did not manage to get close enough anymore and TFT grabbed their first win of the season.
