Helios Domzale took care of business and booked a spot in the Slovenian league finals, while Union Olimpija bounced back with authority after suffering a stunning loss in the semifinals opener. Helios beat Krka on the road 64-80 to sweep the best-of-three series and now will wait to learn its opponent in the finals. Aleksej Lashkevich scored 16 points on perfect shooting, Alvin Snow added 15 and Vjekoslav Petrovic recorded 12 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists to lead Helios, which used a 0-10 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters to pull away and secure the win. Olimpija whipped Zlatorog Lasko 57-69 to even that series at 1-1. The do-or-die series decider takes place Thursday in Ljubljana. Olimpija dominated from the start, limiting Lasko to just 7 first-quarter points in building a 20-43 halftime lead. Only in the fourth quarter did Olimpija loosen up a little and allow Lasko back, but by then it was too late. Miha Zupan paced with winners with 13 points, Marko Maravic added 11, Saso Ozbolt 10 and Vladimir Golubovic produced 9 points and 8 rebounds. Ante Masic led Lasko with 19 points.
