Lovćen did what he could - he defeated Helios 78:71 and stayed in the game for 10th place and direct survival in the ABA 2 league, without playing in the playoffs.

The best were Mašan Vrbica with 22 points and Miloš Popović with 18, along with 10 rebounds.

Cetinje finished the regular course of the championship with five wins and eight losses, the same number as Široki and Gorica.

Rabotnički also has a chance to finish the competition with such a score, who will play against Sloboda Užice on Sunday (17 pm), but the victory means nothing to him, because he would remain in the play-outs.

It could, however, spoil Lovcen's job, because in that case a circle of four teams occupying 9th to 12th place with the same score would be formed, but the Montenegrin and Macedonian representatives would be weaker than Široki and Gorica, because they for a win and two losses.

If Rabotnički loses, Lovćen would be 10th and thereby preserve survival, because in the round with Siroki and Gorica he would have a positive point difference (plus four).

Široka would also survive (plus 11), and Gorica (minus 15) would play the play-out, in which Sutjeska and Helios are safe.
