It is not a big advantage, but it is an advantage. Cibona will bring a 2-point lead to France after they defeated Elan Chalon by 87:85 in Zagreb in the 1st leg of the FIBA Europe Cup Quarter-Finals. It was a very close game which was marked by stunning performances of two players. 

Scott Reynolds of Cibona had 20 points and 15 assists, while on the other side John Robinson scored 39 points for Elan Chalon! By the way, Robinson had 10/11 for 3pts!!!

Anyway, the most important thing is that Cibona managed to triumph in the 1st leg of this clash, while the rematch in France is scheduled for March 21.

Any win or a defeat with less than 2 points in that match would take Cibona into the FIBA Europe Cup Semi-Finals.
