Game recap: It is all tied in the Semi-final series of the ABA League, as Cedevita have beaten Budućnost VOLI in Game 2 in Zagreb and forced the Game 3, which will be played on 1 April in Morača, Podgorica. In a game of two excellently prepared teams, Cedevita were better in the first half, which was decisive in the end of the outcome of the clash in Dom sportova.

Key moments: The guests were the ones to start the game in a better fashion, as they took a 17:10 lead after 7 minutes of the clash. However, their 6 minutes long scoreless run followed, which Cedevita used to make a 22:0 run and pull away to the score of 32:17. With advantage so high, it was difficult for the visiting team to return into the clash for the win and they just did not manage to turn it all around until the end.

Man of the match: Even though Jure Zdovc and the rest of his squad missed him during the final moments of the game, as he was fouled out, Demetris Nichols has fully warranted the trust placed on him this time. He led his team in scoring with 25 points, while adding 7 rebounds, 2 assists and a valuation of 30. He is rightfully our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita were a dominant force in the paint this time around, as they have outrebounded Budućnost VOLI 34:27. This is what turned the flow of the game their way.
