Anwil Wloclawek didn't exact revenge on Bnei Herzliyya for the defeated Friday's scrimmage and lost to the Israeli team 69:75 in the final game of Kasztelan Basketball Cup 2013. Slask Wroclaw finished in the competition as the third as it won over Asseco Gdynia.

Serbian forward Danilo Mijatovic was supposed to not play on Saturday's Kasztelan Basketball Cup 2013 final game due to a slight injury he had gotten on Saturday. Nevertheless, 30-year-old forward showed great character and decided to take part in the match and as it turned out later, it was a very good decision.

Mijatovic scored 13-for-30 Anwil's points before a halftime and when he made his four triple just three minutes to go, Anwil tied a game 62:62. In the next action, his  countryman Dusan Katnic made 1-for-2 free throws and the hosts took the... first lead in the battle!

Unfortunately, that moment of happiness didn't last long (66:64 a minute later) but the ending was played better and more efficient by the guests from Israel. The players of Bnei scored 11 points in two minutes, letting Anwil score only three, and took a tournament's trophy to the Middle-East.

Anwil stopped Chris Warren and Michael Umeh, who scored only 16 points (on Friday, they both had 44 for team's 89), but Jakim Donaldson was the guy who surprised the most, reaching double-double combined with 17 points and 15 rebounds.

Two Serbians in Anwil, Mijatovic and Katnic had 33 for team's 69, while Piotr Pamula added 14. When it comes to Michal Sokolowski, 21-year-old swingman showed a high level of versatility, having 10 rebounds, nine points and five assists.

Anwil finished Kasztelan Basketball Cup 2013 as a runner-up, overhauling Slask Wroclaw and Asseco Gdynia. Milivoje Lazic's team beat Asseco on Sunday.
