Cedevita prevailed over Cibona in the big Zagreb derby and remained with perfect score in ABA league 2015/16! Miro Bilan and Tomislav Zubčić made difference in this game.

ABA League 3rd round, 6.10.2015.
CEDEVITA - Cibona 83:65 (23:18, 16:16, 21:18, 23:13)

Game recap: Three big runs were quite enough for Cedevita to score a win in the basketball derby of Zagreb. The first one happened on the very start of the game when home team reached +12 - 20:8, but Cibona answered back and tied the score at 30:30. Then came the second one - Cedevita scored 9 points in a row and escaped to 39:30. Cibona tried to keep up and they were actually close until 54:50... However, they did not "survive" the third major run of Cedevita. Home team made 14:2 and increased the margin to 68:52. The winner was decided.

Key moments: We have already written about those three crucial runs made by the home team, while the key moment might actually be the basket that started the third run. Cedevita could not find the right solution in the attack, so Luka Babić was forced to try a very difficult three-pointer... The ball bounced off the board and went through the basket - 57:50. You know the rest of the story.

Man of the match: It is difficult to choose between the following two players. Miro Bilan was the top scorer in the winning side with 17 points, but Tomislav Zubčić (13 points) brought so much energy to his team in crucial moments. That is why our pick is Zubčić!

Can't trick the stats: Cedevita played quite a good game and scored a well deserved win, but Cibona also helped them a lot with many turnovers! The away squad finished this derby with 21 turnovers... On the other side Cedevita had only 8.
