The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Podgorica: Buducnost (#1) and Podgorica (#2). Podgorica was crushed at home by 24 points 52-76 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Buducnost looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists.

Guard Atina Radevic (174-2006) produced 14 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Undefeated Buducnost (9-0) have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with a perfect record of 9 victories in a row. Podgorica at the other side keeps the second position with three games lost. Buducnost will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.

Ksenija Scepanovic contributed with 15 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Forward Ljube Andric (183-2007) answered with 5 points and 8 rebounds for Primorje.
