Host club FMP was crowned champions of the inaugural 2008 Euroleague Basketball Nike International Junior Classification Tournament Belgrade in a title-game thriller, sneaking past Lietuvos Rytas 102-99 before 1,500 delighted fans in the Serbian capital. The game could be considered an instant classic as both teams went on run after run against each other, matching and overcoming the punches thrown their way.
