Cedevita entered the last two minutes of the game with a 75-74 lead thanks to Miro Bilan, however Dogus Darussafaka Istanbul got in the end 83-77 win.
The hosts closed the game with a 9-2 run that made all the difference in what was a really balanced affair. Scotty Wilbekin scored five of those nine points and he was the last minute hero, even if Marcus Slaughter with 17 points and Manuchar Markoishvili with 16 were the leaders of Darussafaka throughout the game.
Jacob Pullen with 26 points had an amazing game for Cedevita, while Bilan added 13 points as the club from Zagreb dropped to a 2-7 record. On the contrary Darussafaka got its third win (3-6) and still has some playoffs hopes.
The eventual winners after the first half had a five points advantage (43-38), however Cedevita finished the third quarter with a 61-59 lead. The two teams were pretty equal, but in the end Darussafaka’s quality and the fact that they were playing at home decided the outcome.
