At the break the difference was 13 points and Sutjeska controlled the game after that. In the last four minutes of the third quarter however the visitors made a 10-2 run to close the gap 7 points and give themselves a chance. In the fourth period the hosts kept leading while Tirana kept trying to cut the deficit even more. With 2.33 to go a Djokovic triple capped an 8-0 run which took the advantage to 15 points and decided the outcome.
