Split - SPARS 60:63 (20:11, 11:11, 18:17, 11:24)
Unbelievable game in Split! Spars have pulled off a stunning comeback in the 4th quarter and scored a huge away win.
It is hard to describe everything that has happened in the last 4 minutes of this game. Split were in front by 56:49, but then Spars made a 10-0 run and went in front – 56:59, with just 18 seconds before the end of the match.
However, then the home side made something incredible – they scored 4 points in 3 seconds! Firstly, Mate Kalajžić scored 2 free-throws – 58:59, while then Mateo Kedžo made a quick steal and made a lay-up – 60:59.
But that was not the end of this basketball thriller. In the very next play, Split’s best player in this match Jamel Morris made a huge mistake, as he made an unsportsmanlike on Spars center Draško Albijanić, who scored both free-throws – 60:61. With just 8 seconds left on the game clock, the home side had to make a foul on Nemanja Protić, who also scored two free-throws and made the final score – 60:63.
