Dusan Kecman became the game hero with a midcourt buzzer-beating three-pointer that allowed Partizan to lift the trophy in unbelievable fashion. Cibona trailed 68-72 with seconds left but back-to-back triples by Marko Tomas and Bojan Bogdanovic gave their team a 74-72 edge with 0.6 seconds left, but Kecman stole the show right when it mattered. Aleks Maric led the winners with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Lawrence Roberts added 13 points and 14 rebounds while Aleksandar Rasic and Petar Bozic each had 11 points for Partizan. Marko Tomas and Jamont Gordon led Cibona with 31 points apiece. Partizan led for the best part of the fourth quarter but Gordon allowed Cibona to force overtime, 60-60. Roberts downed 4-of-6 free throws to give Partizan a 68-72 lead late in the extra period and even when Cibona regained the lead, Kecman sank a shot that will go down in history as one of the most incredible ones in Adriatic League history.

Adriatic League, Season 2009-10
The Adriatic League enters its ninth edition and has become as unpredictable as ever. As many as 13 teams will do their best to dethrone defending champion Partizan, which has dominated the competition since 2007. Partizan lost some of its best players, but inked Aleks Maric and brought back Milt Palacio to play alongside Jan Vesely, Slavko Vranes and Aleksandar Rasic and stay competitive as ever. Union Olimpija, Hemofarm Stada, Zadar and Cibona are the main outsiders to beat Partizan. Cibona, which reached the title game last season, renewed its roster with Marko Tomas, Bojan Bogdanovic, Dalibor Bagaric, Jamont Gordon and Antonio Graves. Hemofarm managed to keep its main stars such as Milan Macvan, Stefan Markovic, Boban Marjanovic and Miljan Pavkovic. Zadar counts on Rok Stipcevic, Vladimer Boisa, Trent Plaisted and Toni Prostan to lead the team this season. Meanwhile, Olimpija got much stronger with marquee additions like Sani Becirovic, Uros Slokar, Nemanja Aleksandrov, Gasper Vidmar and Matt Walsh. Buducnost m:tel, with Goran Jeretin and Cedomir Vitkovac, Red Star, featuring Elmedin Kikanovic, Tadija Dragicevic and Vladimir Stimac, and FMP, with Dejan Musli and Dragan Labovic, may also fight for a final four spot.
