Date: February 25, 2023
Round 6 most important game was a defeat of league's leader Slovenian Celje (10-2). They were defeated by second ranked Montenegrin Buducnost (10-1) 72-60 on Saturday night. It ended at the same time the five-game winning streak of Celje. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The game was mostly controlled by Buducnost. Celje managed to win second period 18-12. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They made 18-of-21 free shots (85.7 percent) during the game. Buducnost forced 19 Celje turnovers. Point guard Marija Lekovic (170-2003) scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists to lead the charge for the winners and Serbian power forward Visnja Stefanovic (190-2001) chipped in 12 points and 8 rebounds during the contest. The best for the losing side was American Sara Loomis (188-1997, college: Ashland) with 13 points and 7 rebounds and center Mojca Jelenc (200-2003) scored 6 points and 10 rebounds. Celje's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Buducnost have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending Montenegrin champion keeps a position of league leader.

Just two games before the end of Second Stage and it may be the most important game of the season next round when Celje faces strong Montana trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Buducnost will try to continue on its current victory against third ranked Vojvodina 021 in Novi Sad.
