In dramatic finish Spars were up by 81:80, while then Dynamic VIP PAY point guard Petar Rakićević missed a 3-pointer, with just 1 minute left on the game clock. On the other end of the court Draško Albijanić made a 2-pointer and increased the lead of the home team to 83:80. As Dynamic VIP PAY squad failed to score in their next ball-possession, Spars only needed to make their free throws to stay in front. And the squad from Sarajevo did make 5 out of 6 free throws in the last 30 seconds of the match and scored quite a valuable win - 88:84.
Spars therefore continue their big battle with MZT Skopje Aerodrom for the 2nd spot on the standings, while Dynamic VIP PAY have suffered a major setback in their Playoffs race.
