Game recap: It has always been and it will always be a big game – Cibona vs. Crvena zvezda mts! Two regional giants will face each other this Monday evening in the last match of Round 11, while both sides are approaching the upcoming clash in high spirits.
Cibona scored a valuable road win last weekend against Mornar, and that result has significantly improved the atmosphere inside the team. Now, they are aware that they are the underdogs in the clash against the reigning ABA League champions, but the important thing is that the Wolves once again believe in themselves. And, the Wolves believe they can beat their old rivals.
At the same time, Crvena zvezda mts have been playing pretty good lately. The red & white squad have scored 5 consecutive wins in ABA League, while they also have two wins in a row in EuroLeague. And, the plan is to stay on the winning streak after the match in Zagreb.
Match-up in focus: Luka Žorić (Cibona) vs. Milko Bjelica (Crvena zvezda mts). It will be the clash of two very experienced centers, who are among the best players of their teams in the current season. This duel may actually decide the winner of the match.
Head to head in regional league: In total 21:11; In Zagreb 9:6.
