Nenad Chanak’s students, who were in the role of chasing the whole match and had a deficit of 19 points in the third half (61:42), did not give up and managed to return to the match – “Rainbow” led by Margiris Regulations 72.

Although Lokomotiv had regained a 15-point lead (85:70), after Normant’s 3-pointer in the 39th minute, the teams obtained just 6 points – 86:92.
