What a derby night in Ljubljana! In the NLB Match of the Round 10, Cedevita Olimpija have prevailed over Partizan Mozzart bet in front of 5.000 fans in Stožice Arena after a dramatic ending. It has been a game, which could have gone either way all until the end and in the very finish, the Dragons of Ljubljana turned out to be more focused when it mattered the most, taking away the win, their seventh this season in the regional competition and they are now on a 7:2 record after 9 games played.

With 4 and a half minutes left in the game, the visiting side were up by 4 points (68:72) and that’s when Cedevita Olimpija went on a 7:0 run, during which Yogi Ferrell scored 5 points, which ended only in a final minute, for the 75:72 lead and with that lead they entered the final minute. In the finish, Partizan Mozzart Bet just did not manage to fight back once more and the Dragons celebrated.
