and here's the thing — the final score told you everything you needed to know about how this one unfolded. Ipors Vrhnika controlled the tempo throughout, while Plama P. ran out of legs when it mattered most. The visitors let the tie slip in the second half and never looked back.
Plama P. had come into this fixture with mixed fortunes. They beat Miselj 76-50 in October but followed that with defeats to Gorica and Ajdovščina. Their most recent outing ended 61-78 away to Gorica, and the pattern of results suggested a side struggling for consistency. By then, the pressure must have been mounting on the home side.
Ipors Vrhnika arrived with their own concerns. Two heavy losses to Šenčur — 62-99 and 68-90 — dominated their recent record. They had beaten KK Crnomelj 88-84, but the inconsistency was evident. The old head settled them down, and they punished Plama P. for every mistake.
The victory moves Ipors Vrhnika forward in the cup while adding to Plama P.'s growing list of disappointments. The hosts will need to regroup quickly, because there is no time to dwell on what went wrong. The away end never stopped, and the result reflected a team that finally found some rhythm.
