This derby game ended with only two-point defeat on the road of second-ranked VKM (11-5) to third ranked SKM I (12-4) 80-78 in the game for the second place. It was a key game for the second position in the league. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But VKM won third quarter 19-18. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when SKM I won last quarter 24-23.
