Everything pointed toward a comfortable home win early on. Spartak Office Shoes dominated the opening stages and midway through the second quarter the scoreboard showed a staggering 44:19 in favor of the hosts.

With this win, Bosna BH Telecom complete a season sweep over Spartak Office Shoes - a result that could prove extremely significant in the tight race for a place in the Top 4.
Man of the Match: Michael Young Jr. led the charge for Bosna BH Telecom. He finished the game with 22 points, delivering his best basketball when it mattered most. His scoring bursts and composure in the second half were crucial in completing the turnaround and guiding Bosna to a priceless road victory.
Can’t trick the stats: Some numbers can be misleading. Bosna BH Telecom finished the game with fewer rebounds and fewer assists than Spartak Office Shoes.
