ABA League Round 18, Monday, 29.1.2018:
IGOKEA - Zadar 84:82 (18:24, 29:21, 19:26, 28:21)
Game recap: Igokea will continue the season in the middle of the ABA League standings, as they have achieved their 7th triumph of the season at home in Laktaši by beating Zadar. On the other side, Zadar are losing their hopes of reaching the Playoffs zone, as they will continue the season with 8 win, 3 less than fourth placed Mornar and we have only four rounds remaining after this one.
Key moments: The game could literally go either way, since Zadar had the final ball possession and no less than 3-game winning shot attempts in it. However, Brzoja once and Preston Knowles were inaccurate and the two points stayed at home.
Man of the match: Nikola Jevtović shined for Igokea this time, as he had 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and a game-high valuation on his team's side – 25. He is our man of the match.
Can’t trick the stats: Since the game was tied until the end it is logical that Zadar were even better in some statistical categories, but… Igokea were better in stealing and Zadar had more turnovers and this turned out to be decisive in the end.
