In the match, where the favoured fifth-placed Slovan and the eighth-placed Portorož met, the hosts missed the first “final ball” for mathematical placement in the playoffs. Slovan was too strong an opponent and eliminated the Sailors from a high +21, it was 85:106. The visitors led the way with extremely accurate 3-point shots, hitting 14 three-pointers and 27 attempts (51%), and the guests had an even better 2-point shooting percentage (61%). Portorož resisted well only in the first quarter, which Slovan won 22:25, in the second quarter the guests made a decisive difference of +14 (45:59), which they reliably kept and increased until the end of the game. For Portorož, the best captain was Cvetiĉanin, who was the best scorer of the game with 24 points, but the effect of Rogelja, which was almost completely disabled by the guests with a “handball” defense, was missing. Unfortunately, the refereeing criterion was not balanced, at least when judging personal fouls, they allowed rough play on Rogelj, under Slovan’s basket there were many unjudged personal fouls, on the other hand, the hosts were judged personal fouls even with minimal contact. Such a criterion annoyed both the home management and the players and the audience. Regardless, Slovan deservedly won. In the next round, Portorož is away to Medvode.
