Game Recap: Spartak Office Shoes scored an important home win in Round 2 of the Play-Out stage, defeating FMP in a dramatic finish - 77:73. With this triumph, Spartak strengthened their position at the top of the Play-Out standings, while FMP remained tied for the second spot.

The home team controlled most of the game and held the lead for the majority of the contest, but the visitors refused to surrender. FMP produced a strong comeback in the fourth quarter, even managing to take over the lead at one moment and putting serious pressure on Spartak in the final minutes.

However, the hosts found the right response when it mattered the most. Amar Gegić stepped up with two huge three-pointers, while Spartak followed that with solid defense and reliable free-throw shooting down the stretch to secure the victory.

With this win, Spartak Office Shoes improved their overall record in the Play-Out stage to 9-9, increasing their advantage at the top of the standings. FMP now share the second place with a 7-11 record, still very much in the race for the Play-In spots, as the top two teams from the Play-Out stage will advance.

Key moments: The decisive stretch of the game came in the final minutes. With Spartak trailing, Amar Gegić knocked down back-to-back three-pointers with just over two minutes remaining, turning a 63:66 deficit into a 69:66 lead for the home side.

FMP briefly responded and managed to take the lead again at 69:70, but Spartak immediately answered with the crucial 7:0 run that proved to be the turning point of the game. That burst lifted the home team to a 76:70 advantage, putting them at a safe distance before calmly closing out the match from the free-throw line.

Man of the match: Amar Gegić was the hero of the night for Spartak Office Shoes. One of the team’s latest additions delivered the biggest shots of the evening with his two clutch three-pointers in the closing minutes and finished the game as his team’s top scorer with 15 points.

Can't trick the stats: Spartak’s defensive effort also played a major role in the victory. The home team limited FMP to just 23.1% shooting from beyond the arc, while also holding the visitors to under 50% shooting for two-point attempts, making it extremely difficult for FMP to find offensive rhythm throughout the night.
