17th ROUND REPORT
Like Zadar kept its winning streak with the eleventh victory in a row, (Stallworth 27pts/35min) this time against Široki Prima pivo, so did Crvena zvezda and Hemofarm kept their excellent position on the standings.
Crvena zvezda indeed needed to play an overtime against Budućnost after Mladen Šljivančanin made a 3-pointer to tie the result at the very end of the regular part but the dramatic finish then turned the course of the game into its favour.
In Vršac, this went pretty different. Hemofarm dictated the rhythm almost through the whole game despite all problems in recent days but in the middle of the last period Union Olimpija reduced the margin to 77:80 and showed some signs of a possible turn which finally vanished in a minute or two when Hemofarm strenghten its defense.

LYNN GREER HIGHLIGHTS
While Cibona hoped for another victory at home, Vojvodina didn’t have such plans (Ayuso 3FGs 4-12) and its victory in the Croatian capital may be easily placed among the surprising ones in the 17th round as may the same be classified the one of Zagreb against FMP on the road (Vladović 19pts/3ast/3reb/30min).
