Davor Kus led the way with 20 points, including critical free throws to seal the win down the stretch. Three other teams - Partizan, Hemofarm and FMP - are right behind at 9-3. FMP needed double overtime to beat Union Olimpija 112-108 in Zeleznik on Saturday. Branko Cvetkovic led the winners with 30 points, while Aleksandar Rasic took the game to double overtime with a layup late in the first extra period. Ivica Jurkovic led Olimpija with 28 points and 10 rebounds. Partizan beat Siroki Prima Pivo 86-73 in Belgrade behind 25 points from Predrag Drobnjak, while Hemofarm thrashed Geoplin Slovan 63-83 on the road. Crvena Zvezda dropped to 5-7 due to a 94-81 road loss against Bosna Asa BHT. In other games, Buducnost edged Zadar 84-85 on a game-winning basket by Todor Gecevski while Helios Domzale beat Split 75-80 in overtime. 

FMP needed double overtime to beat Union Olimpija 112-108 in an incredible game in Zeleznik on Saturday. FMP improved to 9-3 while Olimpija dropped to 5-7. Cvetkovic led the winners with 30 points on 9-for-12 shooting and 11 of 12 free throws. Rasic added 15 points, Ivan Todorovic had 14, Bojan Krstovic 13 and Milos Teodosic 10 for FMP. Jurkovic led Olimpija with 28 points and 10 rebounds. Teemu Rannikko added 22 points and 10 assists, Marko Milic had 16 points and Manuchar Markoishvili 12. FMP led 79-71 with 2 minutes to go, but Jurkovic fired in back-to-back triple to keep Olimpija alive. Rannikko had free throws at 83-82, but made just 1 of 2 to make the game go into overtime. Rasic tied the game at 99-99, but then missed a desperation three-point shot which could have won it earlier for FMP. Once in the second overtime, a 7-0 run which Cvetkovic capped with a layup proved to be crucial, allowing the hosts to win a tough game. Crvena Zvezda dropped to 5-7 due to a 94-81 road loss against Bosna Asa BHT. Zvezda was without Milan Gurovic, who did not travel to Sarajevo. Petar Popovic, Tadija Dragicevic and Billy Thomas each had 15 points for Zvezda, while Edin Bavcic had 22 for Bosna, which led 42-26 at halftime and never had troubles to add an easier than expected win.

Cibona stays atop the standings with a 10-2 record by edging archrivals Zagreb 87-91 on the road on Sunday night. Kus led the way with 20 points, Marin Rozic added 17, Luksa Andric had 13, Barisa Krasic 12 and Jurica Zuza 10 for Cibona, which led most of the way throughout the entire game. Zagreb got within 87-88 with a minute to go, but Kus and Brent Wright sealed the win from the free throw line. Partizan improved to 9-3 by downing Siroki Prima Pivo 86-73 in Belgrade on Saturday. Drobnjak led the winners with 25 points, Dusan Kecman added 13, Luka Bogdanovic had 12 and Kosta Perovic 11 for Partizan, which overcame an early deficit to get a 28-24 edge after 10 minutes. Partizan boosted its margin to 46-35 at halftime and then again to 68-54 after 30 minutes, enough to seal a well-deserved win. Hemofarm also improved to 9-3 by thrashing Geoplin Slovan 63-83 on the road also on Saturday. Nebojsa Joksimovic led the way with 14 points, Predrag Suput added 13, Milenko Topic had 11 and Miljan Rakic 10 for Hemofarm, Topic, Suput and Milos Borisov shined in the second quarter to make Hemofarm get a 28-45 halftime margin.
