Key moments: It seemed like Borac Mozzart team has started the game more determinedly than the hosts, and with 8 minutes into the game, they have already been up with a double-digit number of points (11:24). These turned out to be the key moments of the game, since even though Igokea m:tel have managed to cut the gap to only several points a few times during the game, they never managed to tie the game or even get in front until the very end.

Another turning point, however, came with 30 seconds to go in the game, when Diante Baldwin scored a crucial shot at the shot-clock buzzer, to put his team up by 6 points (71:76). This simply buried all of the hopes of Igokea m:tel for a potential comeback.
