The last ticket to the playoffs of the NLB ABA2 league was grabbed by Helios, who beat Podgorica today in Široki Brijeg - 76:75.
For the gap between the five games in "Pecara", in which Podgorica won with a great game in the last quarter, today it was the other way around - in the last five minutes, Dragan Radović's basketball players had a seven-point advantage.
They had one last attack to win, but Milutin Đukanović failed.
Kansai Helios thus finished the regular part of the season in 8th place, and will play Spartak in the quarterfinals.
On the other hand, Podgorica qualified for the playoffs even before this match, while now they will have to wait for the match between MZT Skopje and Široki in order to know whether they will enter the playoffs from fifth or sixth position.
Blaž Mahkovič was the main scorer today with 27 points and nine assists, while Tibor Mirtic had a double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Brendan Slaj is the best in the Podgorica team with 14 points.
