My friend Dejan had a great idea and he invited me for basketball couple of days ago. Klemen also joined us. We went to our new hall in Ljubljana, Arena Stožice, opened on 10th of August 2010. We watched a basketball match between Union Olimpija and Valencia.

Arena Stožice

Our guys, Union Olimpija

Game started. Guests escaped for a few points in the beginning. First quarter ended 13:21.

Our guys were playing in white

In action

The second quarter was much better and the halftime score was 35:32. Home team was finally leading.

 

 

You don't see them on TV, because you have commercials

Third quarter ended 19:18 for our guys, so we went into last quarter only with +4 points.

End of the game

And we won

Last couple of minutes were very dramatic, but 2 points stayed at home. Match ended 72:68 for Union Olimpija and 13.000 spectators went to their homes very happy.

Ticket will be valid also for the next two matches

In the end I also have to say big thanks to Tjaša for lunch, nice afternoon and a wonderful couch.
