The Tuzla team was in control of the results during most of the game, and gained a key advantage at the end of the third quarter when they took a 60:48 lead.
However, the guests from Pale managed to return to the match with a 13:2 series. Two three-pointers by Marko Kovačević, a goal by Stefano Peno and points by Marko Buha from the free throw line brought Jahorina back to a minimal deficit and brought an uncertain ending.
At the end of the match, the game was tight and nervous, and Jahorina was left without Marko Buha and Marko and Rajko Gutalj due to five personal fouls. In the end, Sloboda preserved the advantage by safely taking free throws, while Kovačević on the other side did not realize two important attempts for the guests.
The most effective player in Sloboda was Vladimir Tomašević with 22 points, while Sani Čampara added 17. Marko Kovačević stood out for Jahorina with 24 points.
After five rounds, both teams have a 2-3 record, but Sloboda has a better score. The travelers to the semi-finals will be known after the last round in which Jahorina welcomes Široki, while Sloboda visits Borec in Banja Luka.
