Game recap: On Sunday night, the basketball fans of Ljubljana have been leaving Stožice Arena fully satisfied since Olimpija Ljubljana have not only achieved their sixth win of the season in the game against Mega Leks, but also put on an excellent performance, which resulted in a dominant triumph. This win puts Dragons alone on the 7th place in the standings after 14 rounds. On the other side, Mega Leks are now tied at the very bottom of the standings with three more teams that each have 4 victories on their record and are entering a fierce battle to avoid relegation.

Key moments: Olimpija made the initial difference over their rivals in the second quarter, which ended with their 8-point lead. However, the crucial moments came up after the break, when the Dragons went on a 12:2 run in the opening three and a half minutes, which gave them an 18-point lead (53:35). The winner was decided at that point!

Man of the match: This summer Nikola Janković moved from Mega Leks to Olimpija Ljubljana and who else would it be to shine when the two teams met, other than himself! The big man had 19 points, 3 steals and just as many blocks, alongside one rebound and one assist. This was enough for a game-high valuation of 28 on the winning side, which makes him our man of the match!

Can't trick the stats: Gašper Okorn's team demonstrated how important teamwork is in basketball! They had 18 assists, which was decisive in the game against Mega Leks, which collected only 9.
