Overtime drama sees OIP Insurtech edge TraceOne 54-47 in CLN 3

In a game that swung from control to chaos and into overtime, OIP Insurtech emerged with a 54-47 win over TraceOne in round 11 of the CLN 3 season. Regulation ended knotted at 47-47; the visitors pulled away in the extra period with a 7-0 run to close the night.

The story of the evening was Milanovic Veljko, whose 40-point outburst included 17 rebounds, 4 steals and an efficiency rating of 41. He attacked the rim and the line all night (14/39 FG, 4/13 3P, 8/13 FT) and drew 11 fouls, repeatedly dragging TraceOne into difficult defensive choices. His late scoring — culminating in decisive overtime points — turned a comeback into a victory.

Stevanović Darko led TraceOne with 22 points and 9 rebounds, carrying much of the work offensively when his team built a sizeable early cushion. Đorđević Dušan chipped in 17 points and an impressive 13 rebounds, while TraceOne's balanced attack kept them ahead through three quarters before OIP mounted its return.

Quarter-by-quarter:

• 1st quarter — TraceOne 17, OIP Insurtech 8
• 2nd quarter — TraceOne 5, OIP Insurtech 11 (halftime 22-19)
• 3rd quarter — TraceOne 12, OIP Insurtech 9 (after three 34-28)
• 4th quarter — TraceOne 13, OIP Insurtech 19 (47-47 end of regulation)
• Overtime — TraceOne 0, OIP Insurtech 7

The arc of the game followed an early TraceOne surge, built on efficient looks and strong defensive rebounds, but OIP gradually erased the deficit through consistent scoring from Milanovic Veljko and contributions from role players. The finish was frenetic: regulation saw multiple ties and lead changes in the final minutes, and an extra period in which OIP converted opportunities and TraceOne could not respond.

Beyond the headline performance, OIP received strong interior work from Mitic Vladan (4 points, 11 rebounds) and useful minutes from Zivkovic Mihajlo (4 points, 7 rebounds). For TraceOne, the duo of Stevanović Darko and Đorđević Dušan kept the game competitive until the final buzzer but ultimately could not contain Milanovic Veljko's late surge.

This result shifts momentum in the league table and will be a talking point for coaches parsing late-game execution and foul management. OIP’s ability to finish in overtime after falling behind is the headline, while TraceOne will rue missed chances in the closing moments.
