ABA League Round 14, Saturday, 6.1.2018:
CEDEVITA - Cibona 91:68 (22:22, 28:13, 23:21, 18:12)
Game recap: Cedevita will spend the Sunday at the very top of the ABA League standings, as they have edged out their city rivals Cibona in the derby of Zagreb. The orange squad have turned the game their way in the first half and had no difficulties by maintaining the advantage in the second part of the game. This is their 12th win of the season, after 15 rounds, which ties them in the number of victories with Crvena zvezda mts and Budućnost VOLI. However, the latter two sides still have a game to play this round.
Key moments: Cedevita have made the crucial advantage in the second quarter, which they have won by 15 points. They have been extending their lead throughout the quarter and went for the big break with the 50:35 score. The rest was only a formality.
Man of the match: Once again Roko Leni Ukić led Cedevita team towards a victory like a proper point guard should! He led the team in scoring with 15 points, passing with 4 assists, while adding 2 rebounds and a steal to his stats. He had the game-high valuation of 19 and he is our man of the match.
Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita’s field goal shooting percentages were much better than Cibona’s (57.6% in comparison with 39.3%) and that’s what decided the outcome of the game!
