Leon Štukelj Hall (Novo mesto, Slovenia), Saturday, 30 March:
KRKA – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA 92:78 (21:19, 30:22, 19:13, 22:24)

GAME REPORT:
Krka have been a better of the two squads throughout the game, but key moments came in the second half. The hosts finished the first half with a +10 on their record, and in the 26th minute of the game, the margin has still been 11 points (61:50). However, that’s when Krka made a 9:2 run over the next 3 minutes, that took them away to an 18-point lead (70:52). A comeback seemed to be impossible at that point for the Dragons and as it turned out later in the game, it actually was so.
For Cedevita Olimpija, Justin Cobbs topped the list of scorers with 16 points scored, while Alen Omić (21 rebounds) and Jaka Blažič (5 rebounds), have followed.
