ABA League Regular Season, Round 21, Saturday, 4.2.2017:
Krka - MEGA LEKS 73:82 (16:26, 19:20, 20:19, 18:17)
Game recap: Krka are usually very good at home court and no one has an easy task to beat the Green squad in this gym. However, Mega Leks will leave Novo mesto with 2 valuable points in their pockets! The boys from Sremska Mitrovica played a very good match, perhaps it was one of their best in this season, so it must be said that the visitors deserved this victory. After all, Mega Leks were not in the lead only once this evening - It was at the score of 2:0 for Krka.
Key moments: After being down by 20 points in the middle of the 3rd quarter, Krka managed to reduce the margin to just 10 points before the final quarter - 55:65. Home fans started hoping that their team might make a major comeback, but Mega Leks pretty quickly crushed all dreams of the local fans. The visitors made a flying start of the last quarter, they increased their lead once again and eventually wrote down an away win.
Man of the match: Nikola Rebić had some excellent numbers in this match! He had 9 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, while his overall index rating was 18.
Can't trick the stats: When you score only 5 three-pointers at home court then you can definitely say that it was not your day. That is what happened to Krka this Saturday.
