Krka overpowered the frontrunning Cedevita

Krka has got away with a very valuable home victory against the leading team of the league after three rounds, Cedevita Zagreb. The game was decided in the final five minutes.

Game recap: At home in Novo mesto, Krka achieved what not many have been expecting. The squad, led by Ivan Velić from the bench, was better than Cedevita, the team that has been at the top of the ABA League standings after three rounds played, thanks to the magnificent run late in the game.

Key moments: Cedevita was three points up with 5 minutes remaining in the game (71:68), but hasn't managed to score during the next three minutes, which Krka used in their favour for the 8:0 run and 76:71 score in their favour. Two minutes remained on the clock, but Cedevita did not manage to turn it around until the very end.

Man of the match: Stefan Sinovec led the way for Krka throughout the game, as it is expected from one of the most experienced players in the home side, when it comes down to ABA League. He finished the game with 19 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and valuation of 21.

Can't trick the stats: It may be a surprise, taking into account the strength of Cedevita's frontcourt, but Krka established its dominance on the court by overrebounding the opponent with 30 rebounds against 21 of Cedevita.
