Dinamo Zagreb secured the seventh spot in the Krešimir Ćosić Cup Final Eight (February 2026) with a thrilling 76-74 road win over Kvarner in Rijeka, joining Zadar, Split, Cibona, Đakovo, Omiš, and Škrljevo — Cedevita Junior vs. Šibenka decides the last qualifier on Dec 30.
Kvarner struggled without Supreme Hannah, while Dinamo’s star Delonnie Hunt played limited 25 minutes for just 5 points (2/7 FG). The game’s climax came in the final minute:
- Hrvoje Garafolić drained two clutch threes.
- Emil Savić hit the go-ahead three.
- Patrik Jambrović missed Kvarner’s last-second three; Ivan Vučić grabbed the rebound but fouled before the arc, splitting FTs without forcing OT.

| Kvarner | 74 | Vujičić 22p, Ogrizović/Eaddy 11p |
| Dinamo | 76 | Polutak 17p, Savić 15p, Jacović 12p |
