GAME REPORT:

Mega MIS have fallen behind in the opening quarter by 9 points, but managed to cut the gap to only 3 points by halftime. However, the key moments of the game perhaps came in the opening minutes of the second half, when Mega MIS went on an 18:5 run, that gave them the double-digit lead (56:46) midway through the third quarter. Cedevita Olimpija did manage to fight back in the remainder of the game and even tied the clash again at 60:60 with 2 minutes to go in the third, but Mega pulled away again. Their 11:3 run between 34th and 37th minute of the game, put them up by 10 points again (84:74). With 3 minutes to go, it has been impossible for the Dragons to return into the battle for a pair of points again.

Justin Cobbs has found himself atop of the list of scorers of the Ljubljana squad with 22 points scored and 9 assists dished out. Jaka Blažič had 18 points and 5 rebounds, Karlo Matković 15 points and 8 rebounds, DJ Stewart 11 points and Gregor Glas 10 points.
