This derby game ended with only three-point defeat on the road of 5th ranked Probasket (8-7) to fourth ranked Vardar (10-5) 76-73 on Monday evening. Strangely Probasket outrebounded Vardar 45-33 including 31 on the defensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists.

Probasket's coach Atanas Dimov rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Vardar moved-up to third place, which they share with Badel.
