Where? Dražen Petrović Hall, Zagreb
When? 17:00 CET
Tradition, rivalry, eternal battle... They have always been considered as "cream of the crop" when speaking about basketball in this region. Now, they meet again. Cibona vs. Partizan NIS.
Story of the game: We used to see them battle for the top spots and trophies, but this time the situation is pretty different. Both Cibona and Partizan NIS have entered this season with many young lads in rosters and so far they haven't been so successful.
Cibona have only one single win out of the previous five games and are at the very bottom of the standings with score - 1-4! Partizan NIS are just a bit better with two wins, but they also have negative overall record at the moment - 2-3! So there are two possible outcomes - Either Cibona will tie their score with the big rival and finally move forward, or Partizan NIS will make a sweet break and catch up with the teams from the upper part of the standings.
Match-up in focus: Dominic Mavra vs. Aleksandar Cvetković. Two super talented players have become leaders of their teams. They are fast, creative and productive on both ends of the court. Still, only one will cheer at the end of the game.
