Key moments: Since the beginning of the game (they were up by 18 points in the first quarter), Mega Bemax were in front, but Mornar returned into the race for the victory later and… made the game interesting all until the final moments. When the teams entered the final minute it has been a 2-point game (80:78 in Mega’s favour).

Can't trick the stats: Mega Bemax have outscored Mornar thanks to their better field goal percentage. They hit 44% of their shots from the field and Mornar only 35.7%. This turned the game their way even though they were outrebounded and had more turnovers than the hosts.
