Man of the match: Who else but Sandi Čebular can become the man of the match in Zagreb? He may not be at the very top of any statistical category, as he achieved 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and a valuation of 18 points, but his all-around performance helped his team in various ways. And above all… it was him who scored a decisive game-winner. Enough said!
Can' trick the stats: Cedevita might have big names like Miro Bilan and Mirza Begić in the paint, but Krka were the ones to totally outrebound them this time around. Krka had 32 rebounds and Cedevita only 23 and this is what has directly affected the outcome of the game.
