Tonight in Verona Buducnost went from 10 points down in minute 23 (53-43) to a 10 point lead in minute 36 (77-87) to a final 5 point victory at the end of the match (86-91). It was a rather strange game, but, as usual, the most important thing is what happens at the end of the game and Buducnost played better during those crucial moments. Four players, Obradovic, Rakocevic, Radonjic and Tomasevic, played almost flawlessly in the last quarter. Tomasevic scored only 8 points in the first half, but in the second he recovered his form and confirmed why he is currently leading the Euroleague MVP standings. He finished with 26 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 8 fouls committed against him, more than enough to compensate for his 7 turnovers. In the first half the came was very close, with only a small advantage for the home team, thanks to the scoring of its big men, Kamata and Conlon. At the start of the 2nd half, Louis Bullock and Henry Williams scored some of their characteristic baskets and it looked as if the Italians were on their way to a clear victory. Unfortunately for them, however, the experienced Buducnost players had another thing in mind. After a 3-point basket by Topic at the end of the third quarter, which tied the game at 68 , Buducnost took advantage of its momentum and never lost the lead. The last attempt by Muller Verona to catch up was a 7-0 run to bring them within three points (84-87), but they missed the next three attacks and had to accept the five point defeat as the game came to its end.
