Advokatska komora Niš withstands late surge from Vega IT to win 74-64

On 7 March 2026, in a Corporate Kup 2026 encounter at OŠ "Ivo Andrić" Niš, Advokatska komora Niš closed out a 74-64 victory over Vega IT. The contest was decided by an early statement and steady control through three periods, with a furious fourth-quarter rally by Vega IT falling just short.

The game unfolded in four distinct chapters: a 17-12 opening period set the tone, a dominant 20-11 second period produced a 37-23 advantage at the half, and a 18-15 third period pushed the margin to 55-38. Vega IT roared in the final period, outscoring their opponents 26-19, but could not erase the deficit built earlier.

Big men were decisive. Vasić Vukašin was named player of the game after an efficient and physical performance — 10-of-12 shooting for 20 points, a game-high 14 rebounds (6 offensive), one assist and an efficiency rating of 31. Complementing that inside presence was Aleksić Ivan, who paced the scoring with 25 points on 10-of-25 shooting and pulled down 10 rebounds while hitting clutch mid-range and perimeter shots during the first three quarters.

Floor balance and secondary scoring made the difference. Ivić Miloš chipped in 17 points, including a momentum-building 3-pointer in the third period that helped maintain the lead, while Pešić Zoran provided timely scoring and interior rebounding, finishing with 10 points and 12 rebounds for the winners.

Vega IT found a heroic effort in Petrović Slavko, who produced a remarkable 28 points and 23 rebounds — a relentless presence on the boards who also drew five fouls and finished with the highest efficiency of the game (40). Simic Dusan added 16 points with several long-range strikes, and Pešić Uroš contributed 12 points and nine rebounds as Vega IT mounted the late charge.

The final minutes packaged the drama: after Aleksić Ivan hit a pair of free throws and a field goal to keep the margin safe in the closing two minutes, Vasić Vukašin converted inside at 00:15 to make it 72-62. Petrović Slavko responded with two quick baskets to pull his team within eight and then six, but a buzzer-beating two from Ivić Miloš sealed the outcome at 74-64.

In the end, the early dominance and control of the glass by Advokatska komora Niš proved decisive. Vega IT’s late offensive surge showcased their resilience and the individual brilliance of Petrović Slavko, but the deficit from the first half was too large to overcome.
