Budućnost in the final game.
Tomić struck a great balance between hard defense and versatile offense, causing team to grab the first spot at the beginning of ABA League, as well as the EuroCup Group A. Bad streak in EuroCup during November caused the Zvezda to finish group phase on the third spot, which was still good enough for it to advance to the next stage. In ABA, Zvezda ended the first part of the season with 11-0, having defeated every opponent in the league.
