Lovćen 1947 - GORICA 75:80 (15:27, 17:18, 21:17, 22:18)
Gorica have prevailed over Lovćen 1947 in another thrilling game in Banja Luka.
The ABA 2 newcomers have had the lead throughout the whole match, at some moments they were even up by 15+ points, but at the end Gorica had to go through a dramatic ending to secure their win.
With 25 seconds remaining on the game clock, Gorica were up by just 3 points – 78:75, while Lovćen 1947 had the ball-possession and a chance to take this game into overtime. However, Lovćen’s top scorer from today’s match Roddy Peters was not patient enough. He went for a drive to try to score 2 points quickly, but his shot from a very difficult position was not good. In the remaining time, Ivan Majcunić made two free throws to seal the win for Gorica – 80:75.
