In a standout performance, Miller was named the MVP of the game after scoring an impressive 31 points, securing 8 rebounds, and providing 3 assists in just 33 minutes of play. Currently, Donar Groningen is placed in a strong position within the league standings, thanks in part to Miller's contributions.

Davis poured in 23 points, while also adding 3 rebounds and delivering 6 assists in 37 minutes of action. Despite Pelister's impressive 17-8 mark, KK TFT secured the win largely thanks to Davis' performance.
