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. Then the visitors missed a go ahead jumper as Reed first made a free throw, then a great block which led to a Rundles fast break and 4-point advantage for Peja with 1:57 on the clock.

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.
