Key moments: Right at the middle of the 4^th quarter the score was all tied at 82:82, while in the following 3 minutes SC Derby made the key 11:0 run to gain a double-digit lead – 93:82.

In the final 2 minutes of the game, the visitors have kept their lead without any problems.

Man of the match: Kenan Kamenjaš put on another monster performance as he recorded a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Yet, we will dare to say that he X-Factor today was SC Derby point guard Nikola Pavlićević who scored 18 points for just 11 minutes he spent on court, including some big 3-pointers in the 4^th quarter.
