In the middle of the fourth quarter the score was tied and after that Trepca scored four points in a row.

The game was tied once again with 69 seconds to play when Reed finished a fast break as then the visitors missed. The hosts though did the same and that gave another chance for Trepca and the visitors took it. Scott made a floater with 5.5 seconds to go but this was enough for the home side. Veseli tried to shoot a three-pointer which came short but Reed came out of nowhere to score at the buzzer to sent the match to overtime.
The hosts scored 5 quick points to start it but Trepca didn′t give up and closed the gap to 1.

After the visitors missed the match was decided with 12.4 seconds to go when Rundles made two free throws after which there was no comeback.
