After losing the finals opener on Monday, the top-seed team from the capital was able to come back with a last quarter effort in front of 1500 spectators to maintain their chances for a title win against the defending champions.
To pull the victory off, the talented team stopped the guests at 66:68 with four minutes left to play. The decision finally came with the last possession during which Toni Nakić scored both of his free throws after top scorer Justin Carter had scored his 19th and 20th points of the night to make it 75:73.
