2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 6, Friday, 27.10.2017:
Cibona – PARTIZAN NIS 74:90 (16:17, 17:26, 18:24, 23:23)
Game recap: Partizan NIS continue to battle for the top of the standings in the ABA League, as they have grabbed a valuable win on the road in Zagreb against Cibona. This gives the black and white fourth win of the season which guarantees them at least second place in the standings at the moment, while Cibona will continue the season ahead of them, with three.
Key moments: The key moments happened in the first half already, as Partizan NIS have dominated the second quarter and went up by 10 points by halftime. In the second part of the game, the home side just lacked the strength to bounce back and the black and whites’ win was never really endangered since 20th minute!
Man of the match: Samardo Samuels! The newcomer at Partizan NIS has proven himself to be a huge added value for the black and white already in his first ABA League game! He finished with 16 points, 7 rebounds and an assist, which was enough for a valuation of 24. He is our man of the match.
Can't trick the stats: Partizan NIS had 10 rebounds more than Cibona altogether (37:27). This difference was simply too much for an even game to be possible.
