Key moments: Borac Mozzart were up by 73:71, with three minutes into the 4^th quarter, but then the visiting side started struggling offensively. To describe you how big problems Borac Mozzart had offensively we will just say that the Čačak troops did not score a single basket in the following 5 minutes of the game!

On the other side, Krka used this period to make the key 11:0 run and to gain a 9-point advantage that they have managed to keep until the end of the game.

Man of the match: Jan Špan entered his Španulis mode today as he led the home team toward the win with 23 points. Also, his 3-pointer completed that 11:0 run that turned out to be the key thing in the game.

Also we have to mention the performance of Darko Planinić who shined in his first home match for Krka as he made 15 points and 5 rebounds, while he did not missed a single shot for the entire game (5/5 FG2, 1/1 FG3, 2/2 FT).
