Game recap: Igokea have managed to break their losing streak with a very important home win against Cibona. It was a really tough battle, while at the end the home team showed more energy in crucial moments, especially in defense. On the other side, this was the 4th consecutive defeat for Cibona and they just need to use the upcoming two-week break in ABA League to get back on their feet in front of the rest of the season.

Key moments: Igokea had +8 at the end of the 3rd quarter - 46:38, however Cibona managed to tie the score on 3 minutes before the end - 53:53. But, check this out - the visitors failed to score a single point in the next two and a half minutes! At the same time, Igokea have once again taken the lead - 58:53 and have stayed in front until the end.

Man of the match: Nikola Gajić scored just 6 points this evening, but he was perhaps the most important player of Igokea in this match. Gajić played a really good defense on Cibona's guards, while on top of that he picked up 11 rebounds!

Can't trick the stats: We have mentioned Igokea's defense before and we had a good reason for that. The home team made 9 steals today...
