ABA League Playoffs, Finals, Game 3, Thursday, 13.4.2017:
Where? Dom sportova, Zagreb
When? 19:00
Full schedule: *Game 4 (14.4.2017, Zagreb), *Game 5 (16.4.2017, Belgrade).
After a day of a break, the best two teams of the ABA League season are moving from Belgrade to Zagreb to continue the series of the ABA League Finals.
In the opening two games, Crvena zvezda mts, the dominant force of this season so far, did not disappoint their fans, as they have won both clashes in Belgrade and defended the home court advantage.
Now, Cedevita have to do the same in Dom sportova, in case they wish to keep their chances of claiming their first ever ABA League trophy, since the red and white lack only one victory in order to claim the back to back champions' honours.
The Zagreb side will be fort he first time in the series led from the bench by head coach Veljko Mršić, who was suspended at the beginning of the series and Gianmarco Pozzecco took over his duties.
However, the minus for Cedevita is a new injury by their top scorer Ryan Boatright, who suffered it during the game two. Crvena zvezda mts are coming to Zagreb without injured starting point guard Stefan Jović, while Mršić will be unable to count on injured Marko Arapović.
