Mega Leks came mighty close to causing an upset in the sem-final of the Serbian Super League on Monday night.
just 48 hours after being trounced 109-80 by Red Star Belgrade in game one of the best of three series Leks gave a much better account of themselves in game two.
Corey Webster came off the bench to contribute five points as Leks went down by the narrowest of margins, 90-89, on their own court.
Leks led Red Star 42-40 at half-time and were still in the ascendancy 69-67 after the third quarter.
It was tight throughout the final quarter with Leks having the final shot of the game to tie the series but a three point effort from forward Marco Keselj failed to drop and Red Star advanced to the Grand Final.
The next assignment for the Tall Blacks shooting guard is next week’s invitational training camp with the Indiana Pacers.
