Cibona suffered a road defeat Antwerp Giants... Still the Zagreb crew have already secured qualification to the next stage of the FIBA Europe Cup.

It was that kind of defeat that does not hurt so much. Cibona went to Belgium to give their best against Antwerp Giants, but 10 bad minutes cost them a lot. Squad led by Slaven Rimac had the lead at the halftime - 38:37, but they lost the third quarter by 11:25 and let their hosts take over the control in this game.

It is important to mention that Cibona played without young Ante Žižić who injured his jaw in the game against Krka last weekend.
