Blokotehna though managed to recover and thanks to some timely baskets not only managed to go up once again but also to take 5-points advantage in the fnal quarter. In it the Macedonians kept leading as Academic cut the deficit to 1 with 04:04 to go. After that though the team′s offense couldn′t find the net and Blokotehna took advantage. They scored the next 5 points to go up by 6 and finally after three minutes and a half Gruev scored a triple to cut the deficit to 3. Then Nikolikj missed free throws and Vitkovic made two on the other end so so the gap was just 1 with 20 seconds to play. Then Penn was fouled and made his free throws, Vitkovic missed a triple and when Nikolikj scored once with 8.5 seconds to go the difference became 4 points and the winner was decided.
