Phoenix-MT made 26-of-29 free shots (89.7 percent) during the game. They also forced 20 Vasas turnovers. 25 personal fouls committed by Vasas helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities.

The best for the losing side was center Adam Olasz (201-1996) with 14 points and 7 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Phoenix-MT have an impressive series of thirteen victories in a row. They maintain first place with 19-2 record. Vasas lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the eleventh position with 13 games lost. Phoenix-MT are looking forward to face Tiszaujvaros (#13) in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Vasas' supporters also look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Budapest to the arena Ujbuda MAFC.
The game in Miskolc supposed to be also worth to mention about. Fifth ranked Ujbuda MAFC (13-8) played at the court of 6th ranked MEAFC (12-10). Ujbuda MAFC smashed MEAFC 155-134. Adam Polgardy (192-1999) nailed 31 points and 9 assists for the winning side and Levente Kovacs accounted for 25 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists (on 11-of-14 shooting from the field). Ujbuda MAFC's coach felt very confident that he used 10 players and allowed the starting five to rest. Guard Zeteny Dunai (189-2003) came up with a double-double by scoring 29 points and 14 assists for MEAFC in the defeat. Ujbuda MAFC moved-up to fourth place, which they share with BKG-Prima. MEAFC at the other side keeps the sixth position with ten games lost. Ujbuda MAFC's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Budapest Vasas.
Fifth ranked BKG-Prima (13-8) crushed at home 14th ranked TF Budapest (1-21) by 28 points 101-73, which is the biggest margin this round on Sunday night. The best player for the winners was Botond Nagy who had a double-double by scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists. BKG-Prima's coach Agoston Nagy felt very confident that he used entire bench saving starting five for next games.

TF Budapest lost their seventh game in a row. They stay dead last with 21 lost games. BKG-Prima will meet Kaszasok (#9) in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. TF Budapest will have a break next round.
