The Ludwigsburg team played aggressively on defense as usual against committed, but not so strong guests. This caused the Kosovars to lose the ball numerous times. Nevertheless, Trepca kept up in the first quarter. But in the second round, the hosts clearly pulled ahead thanks to their better throwing rate.
