Saturday's schedule brings us another very interesting match - Cedevita host Olimpija Ljubljana in Dom sportova, Zagreb.
ABA League 12th round, Saturday, 3.12.2016:
Where? Dom sportova, Zagreb
When? 21:00
Story of the game: Cedevita had one week to recover from that unexpected defeat against Karpoš Sokoli away. In the meantime, they achieved a very important win in Eurocup and qualified for the next stage of the competition, which definitely boosted confidence of the team. Now, they want to get back on the winning path in ABA League, and to do that they will need to defeat Olimpija Ljubljana at home.
The visitors are not really in their best form, as they lost 3 out of 4 games in ABA League. Still it must be mentioned that Olimpija Ljubljana lost many games this season by just a couple of points, so if they had been just a bit more lucky, everything would have been different for this team. But, as a true regional powerhouse, Olimpija Ljubljana will never give up on their goals, so they will certainly try their best to score a victory in Zagreb.
Match-up in focus: Jamar Ryan Boatright has made a stunning debut for Cedevita, as he scored 23 points last weekend, including 5 three-pointers. He will definitely one of the main offensive weapons of Cedevita in the rest of the season, while this time he will confront the 9th best scorer of the league - Brandon Jefferson of Olimpija Ljubljana.
Head to head in regional league: In total 9:5; In Zagreb 6:1.
