Crvena Zvezda – Mega BG 88-66
Crvena Zvezda outgunned Mega BG to advance into KLS FInals. The game was mostly controlled by Crvena Zvezda. Mega BG managed to win fourth quarter 21-20. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Crvena Zvezda looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists. It was a great evening for the former international forward Nikola Kalinic (203-1991) who led his team to a victory scoring 21 points and 4 assists (on 8-of-9 shooting from the field). American guard Austin Hollins (195-1991, college: Minnesota) helped adding 17 points and 5 rebounds. The best for the losing side was Russian forward Samson Ruzhentsev (201-2001, college: Florida, agency: BeoBasket) with 12 points and 6 rebounds and international Borisa Simanic (210-1998, agency: BeoBasket) scored 12 points and 6 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games.
