Coming off the bench, Philip Davey made a large contribution with 16 points (7/13 FG, 2/4 FT), 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals in 34 minutes.

On the other end of the floor, nobody on Novi Pazar shot 50% or higher, the highest individual field goal percentage being 28.5% by Aleksandar Stamatov. Star center Tamas Adorjan was hounded on the floor by Blake Blake and completely locked down through all four quarters, while his sidekick Beemepe Peesepe only managed 6 points on 2/11 shooting.
