"Vučice" are finally the champions of the WABA League after four lost finals, the basketball team of Buducnost Bemaks celebrated in the final in Celje against Cinkarna - 71:64 (22:23, 18:10, 9:15, 22:16)
Heroically, since the current champions were the big favorites in the packed hall in Celje, but the difference in the number of rebounds (37:28) best illustrates how much more desire and motivation Petar Stojanović's team played with.
They managed to stay composed and focused even after several referee errors in favor of the home team, when Tess Amundsen hit a three-pointer for 66:62, and repelled Celje's attack.
The home team tried to play rough, but the "wolves" showed that neither that nor the drums of 1.000 home fans could stop them on their way to the goal - the title.
Fourth, and they have five lost finals.
Zorana Radonjić was the most efficient with 21 points, Amundsen 14, Jovana Savković 13 and Jelena Bulajić added 11 points for a big and surprising triumph.
