In the match of the 22. rounds in 2. SKL was a guest in Novo Mesto with the Trot team. Portorož has never won a championship match in the sports hall in Livada, and so it was this time. The hosts played without Janežič, Portorož without Kavgić. From the point of view of the final ranking in the 2nd SKL standings after the regular part of the championship, the match for Portorož did not have a competitive charge, but the hosts urgently needed a win if they wanted to count on the final 4th place, which would bring them home advantage in the first part of the playoffs. The hosts quickly took a 16-2 lead with a series of three-pointers. After a minute of break and a few substitutions, Portorož reduced the score to 16:8, followed by another series of the hosts, who won the first quarter for +9 (23:14). In the second quarter, the game was more even, Portorož reduced the score to 30:25, with a three-pointer in the last seconds until the hosts ended the half with +10 (37:27).
In the 3rd period, the hosts hit 4 three-pointers to lead by 21 points (53-32). With a score of 53-36 , in the 28th. A minute later, Portorož coach Nusdorfer pulled three of his top scorers Škerbec, Rogelja A. and Cvetičanin out of the game (in the absence of possible injuries before the playoff matches), who then did not enter the game again. The last quarter was played by the “reserves” of both teams. A well-deserved victory for the Trots, which, however, did not bring them the desired 4th due to the victory of Ježica over Janče. cities. Due to the defeat of Litija in Celje, Portorož took the final 7th place after the regular part of the 2. SKL.
