That speaks a lot about uncertainty tonight in Novi Sad. Uroš Elezović with two goals at the beginning of 40th minute brought +7 to his team - 23:16. Kamenica didn't give up, ambitious coach forced his players to give their maximum, but that wasn't enough.
The last chance for interesting finish, Lovćen have in the 46th minute (24:18) when time-out was called. Unfortunately for away team in Novi Sad, Todorović and Stanković scored three goals after the break for 27:18 only 12 minutes before the end.
