Game recap: The start of the new year was successful for FMP. The Panthers scored a very valuable home win against Krka and made a little, but very valuable jump on the standings. On the other side, that awful losing streak of Krka has just become longer, so the squad from Novo mesto now have 6 consecutive defeats in the ABA League.

Can't trick the stats: FMP made 18 offensive rebounds in this match, while Jonah Bolden collected 9 all my himself! On the other side, the whole team of Krka had 7 offensive rebounds.
