Due to Crvena zvezda and Jugoplastika being tied for top spot with identical 17-5 records after the end of the regular season, the champion was decided in an one-game playoff between the two teams since, as stipulated by the Yugoslav Basketball Federation (KSJ) regulations, the league champion couldn't be decided on basket difference in case of a tie at the top. The regulations further stated that the venue for the deciding game had to be neutral and mutually agreed between the two teams. Crvena zvezda wanted Sarajevo as the venue while Jugoplastika wanted Ljubljana.^[1] Due to the teams' inability to agree, the venue was decided by coin toss that was won by Jugoplastika.^[1]

Accordingly, the game ended up being played in Ljubljana's Hala Tivoli on 27 April 1972.
