Peja′s Noah Dahlman took it upon himself to bring the visitors back into the contest. The American power forward drilled a jump shot to narrow the deficit to 70-74 with 1:06 minutes left. The Macedonian team though weathered the storm to secure the win.

Danilo Mijatovic paced the winners with a double-double by 31 points and 11 rebounds. Dimitar Karadjovski and Radoslav Pekovic followed by 10 points, each.
