The best for the losing side was American point guard Javon Levi (180-1998, college: UT Arlington, agency: Haylett Sports) with a double-double by scoring 12 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
Eleventh-ranked Samobor (4-21) gave a tough game to Stoja Pula (9-16). Stoja Pula managed to secure only three-point victory 79-76. However their fans expected easier game.
